Taking Time to See God's Love

 As I walked the other day, I passed a bird resting beside a man-made pond.  Reflecting on God's power to console comes easier in such surroundings. At least it does for me.  I encourage you, if you are able, to spend time outside among trees near water observing wildlife and remembering the God that created you and what you see. Thank God for giving you life and surrounding you with this evidence of  his love.  When we mourn the lost of loved ones or chafe because we have lost freedom to travel or associate, our frustration may threaten to drown out reminders of God's grace and provision.
