Life-savors
Hello God, it’s me, Mara:
You know, Lord, now and then ‘things’ just happen that are very pleasing to the eyes – well, maybe pleasing to all of our senses. One can’t help but pause and simply stand in wonderment about Your creation. It really is a shame we don’t notice the happenings daily, or even hourly, but we don’t. We take things for granted; as though they were our ‘due’, and are ‘there’, specifically for our well-being. Lately, several such days and special events passed before us; let’s call them actions or special delights that we can take pleasure in and SAVOR/enjoy them.
LIFE-SAVORS:
Sunshine after a needed rain
Seeing real snapping turtles
A wrong turn reveals new scenery
Far away friend phoned
Rhubarb Sauce on Ice Cream
Bluebirds splashing in birdbath
Bearded Iris in full bloom
Forest air-conditioning
Cattle ‘queue’ on the crest of a hill
Farmers haying and seeding
A root beer float
Sunset reflected on North Lake
The wind moans and whistles
Insect music
Butterflies doing pushups on flower petals.
Waving fields of grain white unto harvest
Corn, tall, stately sword-edged
Garden veggies that please the palate
Friend sharing a dessert
Postman brings a book
Neighbor’s house got painted.
Neighbor girls come to visit
Sharing cookies with (can’t tell – you guess…)
Neighbor’s dog plays in their sprinkler system
Friend tells of fun of plunging into waves
A lovely day to be alive
Sunrises and sunsets
Cool nights for sweet dreams.
Lord, we thank YOU for Your infinite and satisfying love toward us, and that daily, hourly, You show us, through Your creation, wonderful things to savor. We read in Ephesians 3: 20-21: “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to the power that works within us, to Him be glory…throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen.” Thank You, Lord, for Life-savors.
Love, Mara
