Tomboy was the best description of me as a child. Since then, I’ve become somewhat withdrawn from my favorite hobbies of yesteryear. With the arrival of spring, though, came new found happiness in old time interests. Throughout this discovery, I’ve felt kisses from Heaven.
It only takes a few moments outside the shelter of a roof to realize all of the ‘kisses’ Heaven sends our way; Daily reminders of God’s magnificent power and His endless love for us. As soon as my front door opens on a sunny day, I already know that for some unbeknownst reason, Heaven is smiling down.
I can’t get enough of being outside in the beautiful weather that we’ve been having, minus the allergies. Feeling the sunshine beam down might possibly be the best feeling in the world. How could we not feel His presence? Don’t get me wrong, mowing isn’t my favorite chore, but there’s something about the scent of a freshly cut lawn that adds to this season of life. How could we not sense His greatness?
I can’t put in to word’s the beauty of creation. I can't express the overwhelming feelings of peace and serenity that come with spending time with the Lord while meddling in the very Earth He created.
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles.
