Thunderstorms and Nature Songs

              Thunderstorms and Nature Songs
Dear Friends,
     In the beautiful hymn This Is My Father's World there is a phrase, "and to my ears all nature sings." Every song is made up of many notes.  Nature has her own kind of songs.  Some of the notes are soft, gentle wind whispers through the tree branches.  Other notes are booming thunder. 
     Today I was in my garden looking to see what new plants I can find.  My garden is like a song.  A sweet and sometimes tangled mixture of notes.   As you can see in this picture some Lily of the Valley has popped up in the midst of Strawberry plants.  Next to these is a Peony bush and  Autumn Joy Sedum.  
    In Jeremiah 51:16 we can see a beautiful song of nature. "When He speaks in the thunder, the heavens roar with rain.  He causes the clouds to rise over the earth. He sends the lightning with the rain and releases the wind from his storehouses."
     Notes of rain, wind, thunder, gentle breezes and rainbows make up the beautiful nature songs that God gives us.  Let's open our ears and listen to His songs.
Psalms 95:4-5
"He holds in His hands the depths of the earth and the mightiest mountains.  The sea belongs to Him, for He made it.  His hands made the dry land too."
