picinic

Today we had a picnic lunch. We went to the botanical gardens in Janesville and enjoyed the beauty of the flowers and plants and shrubs and trees and birds. It was a good day of fresh air and being together. Who doesn't love a picnic on a beautiful summer day that has a warm breeze and a blue sky?! God's creation is so beautiful. I was reminded of that today so many times. God could have made just a few flowers but instead there are thousands with so much variety in the colors and sizes and smells.
In a book I am reading it was talking about creation and how God started with nothing and then created light .... and then water and land .... and then plants and tress and flowers .... and then all the stars in the heavens .... and then birds and fish .... and then man. Like a painting each thing building on the next in an increasing crescendo to show His creativity and power and love. We are his masterpiece. More important to Him than anything else. I am in awe of that and how that proves how much I am loved and cherished by such a big God. We are so blessed.
