We often ask God for a lot of things. If he thinks we need them, we get them, and occasionally we remember to say Thank you. When was the last time you looked around at this beautiful world and thanked God? So many things are taken for granted, yet if we looked into the details and intricacies of nature, whether that be plants or animals, it truly is amazing. I was stood looking out the bedroom window the other morning, the sun was just rising and shining through the trees over the road. At that moment, I felt awed by the beauty of it all.


Leaves of green have disappeared,
Replaced by red and gold.
The hot sun of
summer days,
Is feeling somewhat cold.

I look in awe and
wonder,
At the beauty all around.
Amongst the towns and cities,
Still
nature can be found.

As I think about these treasures,
I look to
the skies above.
And thank our God in Heaven,
For all these gifts,
sent with love.
