Those who do not have the time to just sit outdoors now and then, are missing things that can never be replaced. Try to make time to relax, observe and to enjoy God's earth and the gifts that it brings to us each day in sights, sounds and smells...

Pastor Gary,
Amen! We just moved to a townhouse with a small yard, after spending most of the previous 14 years living in apartments. While I have always observed God's creation wherever I am, I can't tell you what a blessing it is to have an actual yard where I can sit outside with a cup of coffee, looking at the garden, the sky, and the mountains around us (it is another special blessing that we were finally able to move back to my husband's home province of British Columbia!)
As an artist, I have always loved drawing from nature. And since I became a Christian, I've thought of my drawings as a way of saying "Look! Look what the Lord has done!"
