the beauty of today....

once again, what to write about. i am tempted to write about the beautiful day. it has been gorgeous. it seems like over night green leaves have popped out on our front tree. all those weeks of waiting for buds to appear and now there are little leaves, preparing to grow, making the tree become fuller and much more lush and beautiful. i have a bird feeder in that tree. it's a beautiful bird feeder, and the birds are all over it. i love it when i see the cardinals, yellow finches, wood peckers, and countless sparrows. yes spring is unveiling in all of its splendor. i don't know about you, but, it's felt like winter has lasted longer than years past, and now there has finally been that break through.
as i sit here and think of all of the beauty of nature all around me, i thank God for His wonderful gift of the earth, and i am reminded in 1Cor. 2:9 However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him." to me this means that we can't even begin to imagine with our mortal eyes the awesome beauty, etc., that God has prepared for those of us that love Him. i often think if the beauty of the earth is so breath taking in so many ways.....i wonder what heaven must be like....no way humanly possible to describe it.
the thought of this totally blows my mind. so, today was a gorgeous day, it seems it's easy on beautiful days like this to choose "joy". may i be strong enough on the days filled with rain to do the same.

Beautiful One
