Serenity!

As the sun slowly slips into twilight, nightfall awakens. Birds sing a lullaby to their sleepy offspring. Crickets chirp within their hiding places orchestrating a musical arrangement for all to hear. Winds waft softly through the tree tops, kissing the swaying leaves. Arrays of colors waltz across the horizon dancing luminously in the sky. Stars slowly twinkle adding just a hint of radiance to the encroaching darkness Silver moonbeams encourage harmony, as the silent shadows ushers in nightfall. Serenity!

Hand of God

One question, Where is the time going? The summer months are so short and it seems like the older I get the faster they pass by. The other day I was thinking about the question: Have you seen the hand of God in my life today? So I have been taking that challenge to recognize His hand in my life and here is a few of the things I have witnessed: A phone call from someone in the past that makes your realize you are not forgotten. A cuddly baby in my arms. Grandchildren praying to their Heavenly Father. Feeling the spirit while doing service for someone else. The peace that comes from being forgiven for something you have done wrong. My son really looking in my eyes as if to say, "I love you even though I can't say the words by myself". Children who try to choose the right. Finding an answer to troubling questions while reading the scriptures. Just being able to get up in the morning and be happy. Looking at the beautiful colors and the variety of beauty around me. Of course these are only a few of the things I have witnessed. Sometimes, I find it harder than others to recognize the little things that are from God but I do know that He is very aware of me. I just need to learn to be more in tune to His goodness.
