Tall grass. Mountain tops. Sunshine. I spread my arms and circle around. The sun kisses my cheeks and the wind happily plays my game. “HE LIVES!” My voice screams out.
Booming through the peaks, singing from the trees, nature sings out her response, “Oh, we know. He made us.”
Running down the hills, hiking through the woods, my travel leads to me to seclusion. The smell of pine, the babbling of the brook, and the chatter of the birds. Gazing on a line of ants, distracted by a playful squirrel, interrupted by the spying of a buck. “BEAUTIFUL ANIMALS, THERE IS A GOD.”
Preparations do not end. The play continues on. Silly giggles reply, “Dear woman, look around you. We have always known he made us.”
Praise God! They know! All of creation worships their Creator. He shines in the sun, whispers in the wind, and directs the ant in its work. At ease, I continue home.
Driving through the city, passing the masses of the humans. Little girls dance in circles. Mommies shop for deals. Young men running in the gym. Teachers leading their classes. I join them and I share, “Praise God, he made us all!”
The human world comes to a screeching halt. They turn and stare. They all yell out, “No! We will have no God here!”
Oh dear flowers, sweet bunnies, and swimming fish, you all know and praise what we all deny.
All of nature, from the smallest particle to galaxies far beyond what we can see, declares the glory of God. And with all of that, it is still an understatement!

This is a wonderful piece of writing, taking one right into the heart of the great natural world, and out of our nervous existence, in a progressively crippled world. It will live in my memory for a long time to come, so thanks for writing and blogging it, best wishes and blessings, Charles.

That reminds me of that wonderful book you gave me, where Christopher Yuan first steps out into a prison yard after ages on 24-hour lockdown and is struck by the beauty of creation. Would hate to think we all need quite such a powerful reminder…

Oh so true! The blessings of creation that we are surrounded by everyday and it goes unnoticed most of the time.

Have you ever heard the birds just at sunrise? They’re all singing praises to God together at the same time. It’s amazing.

It is so unfortunate for those who do know but can’t speak out in public freely about it, but also for those who do not know. May God bless them, as we have been blessed.
