You Really Must Walk As The Sun Rises, Most Enjoyable

I was walking today as the sun was rising. I just had to get out there and walk in the fog/dew whatever you want to call it. It is incredible that you can see this from the distance and yet not see it as you are walking right in the midst of it. You can feel it though. There is definitely a coolness as you walk right in it. I was able to see an eagle perched in the tree they seem to like perching in. I was even able to hear the sound it makes when it makes a sound. Usually when walking at a later time in the day there seems to be so much more background noise that they just may be making the sounds but the other noises seem to distract the hearing of it. I noticed the morning doves were up and about and a few blackbirds too. Now that I stop and think about it I have not really seen the red winged blackbirds lately. After pondering a bit more about it I think it is not nice that they chase after the eagle's and try to hound them like I have seen them do. I must admit that they still are beautiful to look at when perched on a telephone wire. It was so beautiful as the sun was rising and the dew was starting to lift a bit over the soy field that I actually paused in walking to drink it all in to my senses. How blessed we are to be able to enjoy what God has created for us to see and experience. I think I can appreciate why farmers tend to get up early to do their chores and work, they rise with the sun and are able to see the land before the rest of the world gets up and the noises become a bit of a distraction. Even on a very hot day there is still that coolness in the air as the sun is rising. How blessed, how blessed we are. Do you agree?
The next time you rise early go outside or peek out your window and catch a glimpse of that fresh dew on the plants and flowers. Even in the stillness of the night God has a plan to send a bit of refreshing to the plants too. If you are parched and thirsty and would like that thirst quenched take the word of God with you outside and meditate on it, especially when there is stillness outside before the rest of the world wakes up. Why is it built inside of us to be drawn outside to nature? I wonder if it has anything to do with where we came from, the Garden of Eden. I do not know, that is one of those questions that randomly came to my mind. If you have an answer let me know. So refreshed already with a glorious day still upon me. Drink in the wonders of nature for they are displayed for you to enjoy. I noticed yesterday as I was driving that leaves are already starting to change their colors.
