The Lord in nature

The Lord speaks to me in nature. My heart praises the Lord when I see the beauty that He has given for us to enjoy.
He has spoken to me in the flitting of yellow butterflies. He broke through my stubborn, angry mood one afternoon as I was backing out my driveway. Two butterflies were flitting around and just as sure as I know my name, I know the Lord was saying to me “I’m with you, I understand”. Now every time I see a butterfly , no matter what I’m feeling at the moment, my mind focuses back on the Lord and the fact that He is always with me.
He has spoken to me through blue wildflowers. Since I feel close to the Lord through nature, I was feeling very depressed about leaving our old house, one reason being I had beautiful views out every window, which I enjoyed looking out and thinking about and praising the Lord for the beauty that I saw. In spring the wildflowers were beautiful out our back windows, we had many different varieties except for one. There was a tiny blue wildflower that grew in a patch across the street, that’s the only place I had seen it growing in our vicinity. During my walks I would think to myself, “I wish I had that type of flower in our yard.” Well, the Lord blessed me with that particular wildflower at our new house! Isn’t that incredible! I knew they were from Him, just for me!
Lately the Lord has been blessing me with clouds! I love great big fluffy clouds against a blue sky, it’s just beautiful! I’ve been noticing lately these beautiful clouds and I’ll think, “Oh Lord, those are especially beautiful clouds today”. I’m driving up Highway 20 from Penn Valley on my way home and I will get just a peek of some incredibly fluffy white clouds. Like someone sprayed out a ton of shaving cream on a blue surface. Only a pre-school teacher would think in terms of shaving cream. As I drive further the clouds begin to move right in front of me, and soon….kaboom…there they are, a sky full of spectacular, fluffy white clouds. Absolutely beautiful, and I pause and I thank the Lord for the beauty he shows me. I have seen some gorgeous skies and it makes you wonder what heaven will be like. I am sure it will be breath-taking………..look what he has given us here on earth!
