One of my favorite places on Earth is on the farm. ๐ย Usually during fairs and festivals, you can find me fighting my way through the crowd of children to get to the petting zoo so I can cuddle the baby goats (and there are usually tears of joy involved!)ย ๐ฅฒย Iโve been spit on my alpacas, tried to save injured birds on my back porch, and had to chase down some furry friends that were on the loose… but I wouldnโt change that for anything, because caring for some of Godโs gentlest and kindest creatures FILLS my heart with joy. It is one of places where I feel the most โin my element.โ
Scripture talks about seeing God in nature. Romans 1:20 says this:

Whether it be seeing an animal caring forย itโsย young, watching a baby bird break through his egg, observing an ant carry a piece of food 5,000 timesย itโsย size, or even noticing a flower that broke through the snow, Godโs glory is clear and evident in His creation, and itโs so … so beautiful.
Nature is a GIFT! I believe itโs of the sweetest and most stunning gifts the Lord has bestowed upon us. What part of the natural world can YOU most clearly see Elohimโs eternal power and divine nature in?ย
