Sacred Things
The sights and sounds of nature
God speaks in the sounds of birds singing
His spirit is felt in the cool breeze
His presence is all around
As the sun warms my skin
And the breeze it feels like a human embrace
The plant life is alive and flourishing
Blades of grass push through the earth, seeking the sun
Trees are budding, leaves are sprouting freely they protect and comfort
Nature speaks through all the seasons of life
Spring, summer, autumn and winter like conception, birth, living and dying
God is never far away
God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit.
Who was...
Who is...
Who will always be.
The beginning and the end.
The great I AM.

I love reading this, the words are soothing like time caressing my soul. I see the words and my thoughts transport me back in time, sort of time walking. I can feel the wind and smell the scents of nature itself.
Nature may not be “your thing” but I would be willing to say that you do have “a thing” that fills you for no other reason than, it does! I encourage you to find your “thing”, some call it a passion, others might say its purpose or a calling. Do things that fill your soul, not empty it. Life is challenging, and we weren’t promised it would be easy. However, we were assured that life itself is incredibly precious.
As I find myself aging, I find my curiosity for things is not diminished but instead, changing. In fact, I would say that my curiosities have narrowed to more precise things verses a broader sense of learning and exploration. My tenacity for life is strong, though I admit I often feel surrounded by imaginary arrows trying to intimidate me into surrendering to the world’s false narrative, shouting “this is all there is. Accept the defeat.” I’m reminded of a saying, “Battles are won and lost, but Victory has already been claimed.”
The Bible tells us that Jesus has already won the battle, death has been defeated. The security of our souls is secured by the acceptance of Jesus, as our personal Lord and Savior.
“Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ”. — 1 Corinthians 15:54-57
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” —John 16:33
Friends, go find your “thing” throw your passion into and live trusting in God for everything.
