Day #3 Thankful for the Beauty of Nature

When I wake up in the morning and look out my bedroom window this is the tree I see. It looks similar to the many trees I see as I walk along the Greenbelt near where I live. Tonight as I walked alone I was very conscious of how different my world is now that I no longer live in the southwest.

The path follows a large stream that is home to a variety of animal life. There are big fat ducks that follow along vocally pleading for a few crumbs of bread. Tonight there were a number of squirrels scampering along the path and running up and down the fences. Towards the end of the path is a large pasteur that is home to some young cows, goats, and sheep. I love the cows the best - they are tame, and they come to the fence when I call them. They let me scratch their heads, and they stretch out their long sticky tongue to check if I have a treat for them.


The entire scene is beautiful.


I feel such a peace when I am there.


I love nature.


I am thankful that God made this world so beautiful for us.
