hannah and i spent a lovely 2 or 3 hours cavorting in the forest this afternoon. it was wonderful. being out away from buildings and...things...puts me in awe of the beautiful creations all around. when i am surrounded by nature and its richness my heart turns to worship. why is it so much easier to pray in the wild? i always forget how peaceful, yet full of energy the woods are. so quiet, until you really listen.
"When through the woods and forest glades I wander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze;
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee; How great Thou art!
How great Thou art! Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee;
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!"
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze;
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee; How great Thou art!
How great Thou art! Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee;
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!"
this is what makes me smile:
nature.
