This beautiful full tree by this full creek gives us a picture of the blessings of God upon all who trust in Him. We can be blessed with all His goodness when we trust in Him. And we will fear nothing but will continue to enjoy the blessings of the Lord as long as we are nourished by His life.
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord
And whose trust is the Lord.
8 “For he will be like a tree planted by the water,
That extends its roots by a stream
And will not fear when the heat comes;
But its leaves will be green,
And it will not be anxious in a year of drought
Nor cease to yield fruit.
Jeremiah 17:7-8
After the Snow Melt
After the snow
all melted away,
the flood of water
brought not only greenery
but overflowing creeks
and the smell of swamp water.
Yet the beauty remains.

Away from me, all you who do evil,
for the Lord has heard my weeping.
9 The Lord has heard my cry for mercy;
the Lord accepts my prayer (Ps 6:8-9).
Cleaning up.
Changing Colors.
Going with the flow.
Changes in seasons is sometimes hard, but at the same time it is adventurous and fun. It brings new hope and a chance to experience new grace and peace–and to feel His contentment and mercy as we have so many times before.
Looking around for nature’s best,
God’s best.
It lifts my spirit
when I see His masterworks,
a great delight to my soul.
There’s nothing like a few flowers in the window to brighten the day.
God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good (Gen. 1:31).
