I invite you to take some time today to be with God in a simple way. Smell the roses. Admire blossoming trees. Appreciate the drifted snow if you live in one of those areas. Gaze at a mountaintop. Marvel at the vastness of the ocean. Enjoy the serenity of a lake. Ponder the power of a raging river. Look at a blade of grass even if it is still in winter dormancy. Pet your dog or cat. Give your horse an apple. Look for the hand of God in the beauty of creation. Don't be so busy that you miss a chance to experience love.
As I went for a walk I noticed this pine cone in the middle of the sidewalk. I picked it up as I walked by and was struck by the simple beauty. I can see why creative people utilize these cones in making wreaths and other holiday decorations. The wonder of God's creation is truly amazing.
