Me Thinks

O Lord my God when I in awesome wonder consider all the worlds thy hands have made...
Thy power throughout the universe displayed...
When through the woods and forest glades I wander...
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze...
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to thee:
How great Thou art! 

Simply put, I put up with winter but I savor nice weather.  Where I live, the mountains are glorious and green in June and the neighborhood that was gray and lifeless a few months ago is now colorful and vibrant.  Everything outside has come to life again, even the rose bushes that looked completely lifeless.  The process of "rebirth" is amazing each and every spring.  We traveled to Southern Utah in April and saw the breathtaking red rock formations.  While traveling back east, we noticed the lush trees, ferns, and shrubbery.  I see beauty in all of it and I love the variety.  When I see something inspiring in nature I feel close to God and grateful to Him.
