April morning

The first glance of this morning's sky was very American...with alternating stripes of cloud, sky and early sun appearing like red, white and blue stripes across the eastern view.  The pond was peaceful as an osprey flew off with his morning catch clutched securely in his talons and a few goose couples exchanged honks across the water.  I headed over to a field to view the sunrise and snapped a few pictures...the lens caught one shot of the sun's rays breaking through the tree line with a Cross-like image.  I reflected on the beauty, the serenity and the comfort I saw and felt, as even the air was balmy and pleasant.  The cornfield beneath my feet was coated in lavender clover.  This April morning was a good reminder of the comfort we have in the arms of our Lord.  Just as every sense was impressed with warmth and beauty from over head to beneath feet, so every aspect of our lives is held and covered in the beauty of His surrounding presence.

Psalm 5:12 For You, O LORD, will bless the righteous;
         With favor You will surround him as with a shield.

blessings,
Rob Smith
