As I reflect back over this month, I realize we've seen some "new" things that we'd not noticed before on God's beautiful creation. Having not previously been much of an outdoor person (I don't like dirt, sweating, or bugs), I have been pleasantly surprised at how much I have enjoyed spending time with the kiddos and my husband outdoors. With a little effort on our parts, we can see so many things God has put on this earth that will bless our souls. As the weather has warmed up over the past month or so and due to my allergy to heat (ha ha), it has put a damper on our outdoor adventures. But I still wanted to share with you the incredible blessings in nature that we have enjoyed during the month of June.
Previously I had posted photos here, but they disappeared. So I will share what we saw - 2 little land snails, a U.C.C. (my own acronym for an Unidentified Creepy Crawly), a swiftly moving green lizard, the little scoundrel that is known as the local cat food eating raccoon, a typically carefree butterfly stuck inside our screened-in porch, a dragonfly, two birds' nests (both discovered by my husband), a stunning periwinkle iris bloom, a variety of daisy blooming, another daisy or daisy-look-alike, a Happy Returns Daylily (this variety happily returns all summer), more gorgeous daylilies, breathtaking blooms of our Crepe Myrtle tree, and a Blue Hydrangea in bloom.

I really wanted to capture each moment that we discovered something "new." For me, it was truly a blessing to take notice of God's beautiful creation and know that He loves me enough to share these wonderful creations of His with me. For God's Word tell us in Romans 1:18-20, "Since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities - His eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse." (NIV) What confirmation that verse should be for all of us of the depth of God's love for all mankind! Ah.....more of God's little kisses.
Blessings to you!
