Prayer Journal #1

 When the girls and I went to Nashville IN on our 'Girls Trip' last week, we stopped at a cute bookstore and I found a Prayer Journal that I really liked. I bought one for my friend Rhonda also.  I haven't posted here iny blog for a year, but it's time to start again.  Prayer Journal.  Random thoughts.  Who know?

Where did you see God today?

 After I finished painting the herb garden trellis Blaine made for me, I was sitting on Nellie Belle, watching Gary finish some things in the yard.  He had been mowing all morning and after lunch.

I am so thankful to live here.  I know I have been saying that for four years (yes!  It will be four years that we closed on this property on June 25!), but it still holds true today.  I love it here.  I liked it at our old house outside of Pulaski, but the feelings are different here.

As I sat on Nellie Belle, I was looking around at the barn.  The goats.   The green grass.   The lilies that are blooming in the flower bed east of the deck.   The blue sky speckled with white clouds.  

How can anyone sit outside in the summer and witness the beauty of nature and not be thankful that God created all of this?

Thank you, Lord, for creating all of the beauty of nature, for giving us flowers that bloom throughout the spring and summer months so that we can enjoy many colors each and every day.  Thank you for creating the sun, moon, stars, and sky plus all of the clouds for us to enjoy. Green grass, the green of corn and soybeans popping through the brown dirt in the fields around us, and the green of leaves on many trees in our yard are all reminders of your great Glory.  Thank you for blessing us with the wonders of nature.  Amen.
