For a second day, my windows are wide open, even though the air is a tad cooler. How silly it seems to close doors and windows against this life and beauty and joy. So, I won’t.

All of creation is a song of praise to God.
Hildegard of Bingen
***
Christ himself is the Creator who made everything in heaven and earth,
the things we can see and the things we can’t;
the spirit world with its kings and kingdoms, its rulers and authorities;
all were made by Christ for his own use and glory.
Colossians 1:16 Living Bible
***
I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station,
through which God speaks to us every hour,
if we will only tune in.
George Washington Carver
***
Let the heavens be glad, the earth rejoice;
let the vastness of the roaring seas demonstrate his glory.
Praise him for the growing fields, for they display his greatness.
Let the trees of the forest rustle with praise.
Psalm 96:11-12 Living Bible
***
Nature is too thin a screen;
the glory of the omnipresent God bursts through everywhere.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
***
“O Lord, you are worthy to receive the glory and the honor and the power,
for you have created all things.
They were created and called into being by your act of will.”
Revelation 4:11 Living Bible
***
Dear God,
I asked that you clear my mind of any negative thoughts
so my heart can run free;
so I may look at the world with a clearer understanding
of your beautiful creation.
Cleanse my heart, dear God, so I may always look
through the wonder light you shine upon us.
In Jesus name, Amen.
