A walk in nature always amazes me and reminds me that we serve an awesome GOD! We are surrounded by his love and mercy but often we get so caught up in life that we don’t see it or feel it.
We are so blessed to have an abundance of nature in our own backyard and garden… this reminds us our of creator every day.
