Sunlight blazed from the summer sky filling the earth with warmth. I walked along our country road whispering prayers and finding refuge beneath my Father’s wing where I may sing for joy as a child. The Spirit of God made His Presence known all about me — the light of His presence casting exquisite sunbeams through the canopy of interlocked pine, oak, and elm.

Birds called from the treetops. White-tail deer sprinted from the creek into the forest’s safety, as the gentle breeze whispered through the pines. Creation declared His glory all about us.
