I find a little slice of heaven in the early mornings, this morning it was with my coffee cup in one hand and my camera in the other.
Sitting out on the porch, feeling the gentle breeze, I was watching and listening to the birds fluttering by, while I was taking in their own alluring beauty, I was just marveling at the beauty, blessing and power of a little flower. They hold the such a whole mystery in its short cycle, don't they? Goodness, some of my flowers are brave little things, they just keep on blooming despite some neglect in the summertime while we are away.
I come home, they are as brilliant as ever! Sometimes I think of their charming little names, I so want to learn them all. I think of their exquisite color and I just think of their amazing power, how they can exhilarate and how they can draw me in. I am in total awe, it's pure blissful entertainment. A flower can certainly can make one feel joyous, and oh so, content. To be out with them on an early quite morning, is just a slice of heaven.
Just one single flower is truly a profound and radiant peace of art.
Taking in some of His creation - the miracle, I thought, isn't it amazing how a the face of a flower looks to the sun? I think about how in life, we should all look to the sun, the bright side...flowers teach us so much about life.
Oh, how they truly sparkle in the early morning sun! It's glorious to see the dew on their brilliant pedals, their beauty speaking so quietly, each with it's own lovely and enchanting scent... a powerful slice of heaven, indeed.
.
Hope you have a happy and blessed day!

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your flowers. It has been too hot here in NC to really go out and enjoy nature. The mornings that are a bit cooler, find me on our screen porch enjoying the birds and flowers.
Love,
