What a wonder wildflowers are!

This week I have been wandering the woods and forests of Northern Michigan, snapping photos right and left, and I would like to share a few of the amazing wonders I have found. 

 I hope you will be filled with worship for our Almighty Creator and grateful for the beauty He has placed all around us.

To think God took the time(and all within 6 days) to create the millions of different flowers.

 

Reds

Purples

 "Then God said, "Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed....

Whites

Yellows

 ...and fruit trees bearing fruit after their kind, with seed in them, on the earth;

Unusual

 ...and it was so.

Striking

and the earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind ...and God saw that it was good." 
 Genesis 1:11-12

So far, we have only seen a few of the wonders that I have found.
As I observed the sheer variety of colors, shapes and sizes of wildflowers, I am ashamed to say,  there have been times,  since my husband went home to be with the Lord and I was left to raise two children on my own, that I sometimes wondered if I would be able to pay the bills, keep our home, feed us that day, or tomorrow.
 

 "Do not be anxious for your life, as to
what you shall eat, or what you shall drink;

 ...nor for your body, as to what you shall put on.

Look at the birds of the air...your heavenly Father feeds them.  Are you not worth much more than they?

 and why are you anxious about clothing?

Observe how the lilies of the field grow;they do not toil nor do they spin,
yet I say to your that even Solomon  in all his glory did not clothe himself like one of these."  Matthew 6:25-29

So, as I wander the forested paths and marvel at the beauty of God's creation, I am reminded how God has taken care of me through these past years. My children have not gone hungry, or naked. I am living in the home Jim bought for me. Not a bill has gone unpaid. All  because of God's wonderful care and unfailing love for me.

 " But I have trusted in Thy lovingkindness;





                                                                        My heart shall rejoice in Thy salvation.

I will sing to the LORD, because He has dealt 
bountifully with me." Psalm 13:5-6

If you ever get the chance to wander in
the woods, or just sit quietly in your backyard, take a moment to rejoice in all that God has made for us to enjoy. It will refresh your soul and make you truly grateful.
