Overcast, but far from gloomy, the verdant green of the fields and forest illuminate the landscape. Squirrels scurry about foraging for nourishment as red tailed hawks glide by with a watchful eye. The chickens pick their way through the pasture adjacent to the stable securing worms and larvae working their way to the drier spots in the otherwise saturated soil. A doe and her fawn scurry back into the cover of the underbrush that encroaches on the field as soon as they detect the human presence, even from afar. Further down the farm lane six wild turkeys prance and scratch their way through the brush seeking their ongoing feast. In the light of the clouded morning the wonder and beauty of nature springs forth and delivers us to a place of awe and wonder. There is joy in the sights to be seen and we are inspired by the opportunity to witness the magnificence of nature’s expression. Gratitude to the creator wells up in our heart and mind as we ponder and give thanks for today’s experience. A grateful heart is the icing that sweetens today’s slice of eternity!
