The Beauty Of God's Creation

I spent the day working in Austin yesterday and it was such a great day, a bit chilly but gorgeous all the same. When I arrived at the location for the day I was taken aback by how it was nestled on a heavily wooded site in the hills of Austin. Grassy hills....Texas Mountains...is what I call them! I walked around to take it all in before I had to get to work and I came upon a sitting area that overlooked the river of water through the hills. I could do nothing but say to God, "thank you for the beauty of your creation" and I took a deep cleansing breath of the cool air. Shortly after my moment with the Lord I sat working surrounded by huge windows which provided a serene and scenic working environment when from nowhere appeared two deer to feed on the grass. It was such a spectacular moment as the Lord whispered to my heart "praise me with a pure heart and just see what I will do!"

I will praise you, O Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders. I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name O Most High. Psalm 9:1-2
