The Wind in the Trees

March 3, 2017

I thought I'd share some thoughts I had today. I LOVE being out in this beautiful world God has given us, that's where I feel that I can really connect with God. Today, I walked up a little hill in the center of our housing garden, where there is a small pavilion with lots of trees, and always birds singing. The wind was gently blowing through the trees and it was SO peaceful and relaxing! As I sat there listening to that sound of the wind in the trees, the thought came to me how they (the wind and the trees) need each other to accomplish making that beautiful sound. Without the wind, the trees would stand silent on that hill, and without the trees, the wind could blow all it wanted, but not make that beautiful sound. This is like us and God. God is like the wind, always moving somewhere, but he needs us, his children on earth, for beautiful sounds (speaking Gods Word) on earth to happen, but we (the trees), can't accomplish that without God :-) What sweet sounds we can make together when we are in fellowship with our heavenly father

Attempting to do art... Peanut always wants to help! I bought a book with cute little animal drawings.  I can mostly follow the step by step pictures, but I also translate the notes. But he makes it difficult! I ended up having to make Peanut move. #
