I was headed from our bin; after taking the trash out, when something stopped me for a moment. It was the sound of an owl in the distance. Almost immediately a sense of calm and peace came over me. It was a feeling I didn’t really want to walk away from. Though it was a reminder of God’s peace, even in the small mundane moments, not just the big emotional ones. Often, I feel a sense of peace when I am in nature. The sound of birds, or little squirrels or even the sound of a gentle breeze in the trees. Friend, may we slow down sometimes and spend some time in nature. It is quite incredible the peace that can be found when we stop and relish in the beauty and peace of His creation.

Psalm 19:1 NIV

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
