I love nature. One of my favorite things to do is take long walks on nature trails. It helps me clear my head and focus on God. I can’t help but worship when I’m out in creation.
Unfortunately, summer in Florida doesn’t lend well to long walks outside. They’d probably have to send a search team out, only to find me collapsed from heat stroke on the trail. I tend to stay inside in the air conditioning during the intense heat.
So I love it when God brings the nature to me.
This is my new friend.
She’s in my front yard. This brazen little thing has wandered from the safety of the woods behind my house to the wide open space in front of my house. All for this.
She is eating all my bird seed. I don’t really mind. In return, I get to watch her from my window and take pictures. My husband keeps referring to her as “dinner,” and I have to keep reminding him that shooting deer is probably illegal in our subdivision.
I love watching some of God’s creatures up close. Their beauty and grace makes me smile.
Do you worship through nature? Have you had an up close moment with one of God’s creations?
I have saw a lot of beautiful rainbows this summer.
Me too!
I can worship best through nature actually. Now that I think about it 🙂

That deer is adorable! Have you given her a name (besides “Dinner”)?
I wish I was better able to notice God working in the little things I see from day to day.
I’ve been thinking of a name but haven’t settled on one. I asked on Facebook and got a number of cute ideas. Right now she’s just “my friend” or my new pet.
I agree. I wish I was better at seeing God in the little things too. I usually fly thru my day with no thoughts to all that God places in front of me. Unless its a big deer right outside my window.
