He has sent the autumn rain and the spring rain as before. Joel 2:23


The morning mist in the hills looks pretty. I love those hills and try to go once a week. To go out of town - which I love dearly - helps me to get a different focus. To get in touch with nature. My nature and God's nature are there too. Not always very compatible. But the beauty helps me to forget my own shortcomings and to concentrate on the beauty God gives to all. Whether they know it or not, whether they want God to be good to them or not.
To need somebodies interference to make everything bright is a delight were that someone is a friend, but others may even come to hate the beauty because they cannot make or control it. God can. He makes it spring and summer, autumn and winter. We go through theses and find their blessings, whether in a material world or in a spiritual world. We all depend on God's mercy, willingly or unwillingly. Being able to give thanks and to enjoy what is given is a blessing in itself. Those, who can only complain, live in hell even here on earth. Those who enjoy have a foretaste of what heaven will be like.
