Beautiful Day

I've never much enjoyed being in the great outdoors, but today was an absolutely gorgeous day here and I couldn't help but be outside. Sunny, no wind, temperatures in the sixties. The kids and I heard a loud humming noise in our backyard. On closer inspection, we found that one of the trees was covered with bumble bees busily doing their God-given work. We all crowded around the low branches of the tree to observe them. We were so close that we were able to see that some of the bees had their back legs full of pollen. The kids and I even got to partake of another chapter of The Swiss Family Robinson together in the shade. This was a day the Lord made and we rejoiced and were glad in it.

You alone are the Lord. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you. Neh. 9:6
