Outdoors

 Outdoors

Overhead bright blue sky

and puffy clouds floating by

as the sun dons

a bright new morn.

A breeze stirs the treetops

rustling the leaves atop

where last night's raindrops

are heard - plop, plop, plop

for thunder heard during the night

brought cooling rain to delight

and sound sleep.

Now sunlight peeks.

Can't wait to get outside

where so much delights the eyes.

A rainbow of flowers

in crayon colors,

fresh vegetables to pick

to fill a big dish,

birds parenting

through feeding,

butterflies come to sip,

hummingbirds seen dip,

bees humming -

it's something!

You won't want to waste a minute.

So let's get right into it.

Get out the wheelbarrow and let's roll.

You know overnight more weeds did grow.

Who would want to stay inside

when there's so much to see outside?

There's so much more in store

in the great outdoors.

I pray you are able to enjoy some time outdoors today.

Hopefully, visiting with some friends you've met along life's way.

Or maybe taking a ride to see

your localities scenery

for God's creation is a wonder to behold,

more awe-inspiring than can ever be told.

Be sure to read the below scripture from Job.

Then look for God's whisper, simply behold

the wonder of God's majesty in creation

created throughout each and every nation.

You'll be filled with awe

over what you saw.

He spreads out the northern skies over empty space;

he suspends the earth over nothing.

He wraps up the waters in his clouds,

yet the clouds do not burst under their weight.

He covers the face of the full moon,

spreading his clouds over it.

He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters

for a boundary between light and darkness.

By his breath the skies became fair...

And these are but the outer fringe of his works;

how faint the whisper we hear of him!

Who then can understand the thunder of his power?

Job 26:7-10, 13a-14
