Meditation Monday

Lovely friends, a few Monday thoughts on nature, man, and their holy intertwining ...




"All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for
all I have not seen," penned Ralph Waldo Emerson.

In the exquisite beauty of this universe,
how can we not see the divine handiwork as proof of a powerful plan?

In the delightful order of the seasons and cycles of nature,
how can we imagine that such majesty
was a series of random acts, haphazardly created?

The vast capabilities of mankind alone gives testament
to a scope of creative effort that boggles the mind.

The presence of mankind and nature
bear witness to a grandiose plan of epic proportions
of which we are a key part.

Trust the wisdom inherent in the blueprint of our lives.


~JLL

Jan, I recognize the bay, such beauty to behold everyday. And there is beauty in your words as well;

"In the delightful order of the seasons and cycles of nature, how can we imagine that such majesty was a series of random acts, haphazarely created?"

I thank God everyday for the beauty of nature around me, the green grass, the smell of flowers, the songbirds and the wind blowing through my wind chime.

Meditation Monday was good and today is off to a great start too.
Blessings, Julie

Oh sweetie. How wonderful! I am so blessed by my spiritual friends. Check out my post today. If you could get Dr. Neff to talk about her book, I"m sure many women would enjoy her!
