I am often stuck with awe at the beauty and majesty of all that the Lord has created...especially in the creatures around us and in raw nature...the sunsets, the rivers, the trees, the land, etc...

Powerfully described, your response to the sounds at the creek had me waiting to see who or what had intruded in your day. I had a feeling it would be a deer or fawn, but instead, the rare sight of a graceful crane appeared. Truly a gift, as is your writing, dear Joyce.

Love,
Connie
