For the Beauty of the Earth

I have been blessed to live here in this marvelous world. Each and every thing around me has the beauty that allows God's presence to shine through. The mountains of my home come in many colors. In winter they are white and seem to shine. Spring brings a lush green landscape in summer. Fall the mountains turn red, yellow and orange. It doesn't even take long to drive south and find the beauty of the red rocks. The tall green timbers are a beautiful accent to all of those colors. One of the blessings I long for in the winter are the many colors the flowers bring into my life. I have long adored the beauty of many flowers large and small. I am blessed with the beauty of the sun arising and setting and lighting up the sky. At night the moon shines down in all it's diversity and it sits among the twinkling of the stars. Even the dirt has it's beauty as my son sees the magic of play in its opportunities. With all these natural wonders even the man made structures bring their own God-like beauty into my life. I feel so blessed to live in such a color rich beautiful world.
