"Nature to a saint is sacramental.

 If we are children of God,

 we have a tremendous treasure in Nature.

 In every wind that blows,

 in every night and day of the year,

 in every sign of the sky,

 in every blossoming

 and in every withering of the earth,

 there is a real coming of God to us

 if we will simply use our

 starved imagination to realize it."

Oswald Chambers

A Friendly Stroll ~

In every walk with nature

 one receives far more than he seeks.

On The Watch ~

"Never say there is nothing beautiful

 in the world anymore.

 There is always something to

 make you wonder

 in the shape of a tree,

 the trembling of a leaf."

Albert Schweitzer

may you find beauty

Silence ~

We need to find God,

 and he cannot be found

 in noise and restlessness.

  God is the friend of silence.

  See how nature – trees, flowers, grass – grow in silence;

  see the stars, the moon and the sun,

 how they move in silence.

  We need silence to be able to touch souls.” 

Mother Teresa

 but with our understandings

 and our hearts.”

 William Hazlitt

Awaiting Revelation ~

(a little click will reveal more)

"If you will stay close to nature,

 to its simplicity,

 to the small things hardly noticeable,

 those things can unexpectedly

 become great and immeasurable.” 

Rainer Maria Rilke

Life Lessons ~

take turns talking

{you may want to click on the photos to enlarge}

be kind to one another

put your coat on

it's

cold outside

a few facts

may just be a portion
of the truth

don't talk with your mouth full

don't bite off

more

than you can chew

when the going

gets

tough

hang in there

life lessons
