~They Know~ How do leaves know to sparkle like gold or shimmer in the wind in shades of orange and glisten in the sun in a blaze of red? In joyous praise they declare Autumn is here! How does the leaf know when to fall? it ushers in snow to cover bare limbs as they raise their branches in melodious praise with the angels they sing... Glory To The King! How does the rose know to peek from under the snow to rejoice again in her perfect pose? The Weeping Willow cries in humble worship to praise the father above the Robin hugs her eggs with tender wings as the Humming Bird nearby joyfully feeds They know our redeemer lives! BloomingRose |

Oh, so lovely. Great writing. Also, serves to remind me of Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8; v.1 "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:" Marcy |

Marcy~ Yes that is one verse I like to remember also. It serves to touch on many things. Bonnie, Thank you for your kind words. The creation around us is a constant reminder of who God is if we open our eyes and heart to it. |

You have shown us that we can learn much from the purity of nature as all in nature lives without the temptations of man. Beautiful verse from you. Probably one of the most wonderful messages I have ever read and really allows me to realize the weaknesses of myself which I openly admit are many. You said it once on one of your replies, "I am but a weak vessel." This is true and I can see that more clearly now...thank you for this verse and for you.

BloomingRose~ This lovely render certainly brought to mind the gospel verse from Ecclesiastes - 'And to everything there is a season and to every purpose under the heaven.' He is the all powerful gardner of our souls. Tending the care of all things. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Ellie~ So true, I have often thought of how the animals, and all of nature has never rebelled against God. How perfect life flows when his plan is followed. We as humans make so many mistakes trying to be our own "God". He knows best if we just let him be who he is, and follow his plan. Mark~ Yes, we are but weak vessels, but with his help we can learn to overcome. His strength is perfect when our strength is gone. Good insight from you. Thanks. Marge~ He is ever faithful to tend to all that pertains to us. Thanks for your beautiful words, as a reiminder of that fact. |

 The scripture that your poem reminds me of is the one that tells how God provides for the birds and the lilies of the field and how much more he provides for our needs. Maybe this is why we call it nature......because it all comes naturally. Bob <>< |
