We live in the most incredible world. The diversity of flora and fauna, of landscapes and seascapes, coasts and mountains is incredible. Wherever you live, you are probably a short journey away from somewhere lovely to relax and take in the beauty around you. Plants seem to fight to grow everywhere (along with weeds unfortunately) and if you have a patch of ground you can grow a lovely display which is a joy to look at and nurture.
How can anyone think that our planet, our ability to live on it, and the beautiful environment that has been created has all occurred as some kind of happy accident? Ancient peoples knew instinctively that there must be something/someone behind the happenings in their world and invented gods so that they could understand the world around them.
God is the most wondrous architect – even looking at a single flower and seeing the intricacy of its design and pattern and how it manages to grow and flourish is an education in the vast genius of God. We should give glory and thanks to him for all that he has given us and stop trying to explain it away on some Big Bang idea.
I say all of this because I think that Spring is the most wonderful season of the year – so many blossoms and a feeling of new life all around. Also the promise of Summer following on closely. I am thankful for the beauty that surrounds me and it is a pleasure to go on a walk or a drive to look at all of the new leaves and flowers bursting through every day.
May God bless you and help you to cherish all that he has given us,
