The awesomeness of the world that embraces me

His creation

Every day let me be amazed by you

To look around in quiet

Be still

And feel true love

For only true love

Could create this heaping ball of beautiful mess

Just for me to glimpse

In these moments with you

Every color

Plays together in my senses

Blues

Brilliant and crisp

Greens

Bursting with life

Reds and oranges

Fiery sunset skies

It is all a gift

The flower that grows from nowhere

The bird that sings a sweet hello

The twinkling of a clear night sky

The sound of children laughing

The touch of a friend

Softness

The embrace of pure warmth

On a spring day

New life exploding all around

The gentleness of life giving rains

It’s all a gift

The mountains that stand tall and proud

Lakes and rivers that team with joyous life

Plains, canyons, fields, and homes

Every sight, smell, touch and taste

All gifts

Every day He is blessing us

The ultimate artist

Who painted beauty

No one has since been able to master

You can find it everywhere you look

In the eyes of a stranger in need

Softness in the harshest setting

The landscape

The tiniest creatures

The architect

Who built the world that sustains life

That gives and takes

Plays

Protects

Amazes

I look out

Everything I see has his handprint

His heartbeat

Embedded deep into it

I am just a speck of sand

In this full desert of creation

And yet His gifts for me

Make me feel loved

Important

To the One who matters most

He thought of us

In all that He provided

Our farmer

Chef

Babysitter

Zookeeper

Author, poet

Policeman

Gardner

Accountant

Tour guide

Doctor

Fireman

Judge

Counselor

Teacher

CEO

Producer

Our most talented musician

Using every living thing to create a song

Beyond compare

A symphony of harmony and discord

And rhythm

They pulse of life

It is all His

A gift I am blessed to glimpse

Each time I take the time

To be still

And quiet

And allow Him to come to life all around me
