Of Kansas and Love

So I was thinking...

Whoever said Kansas is a horrible place must not take time to look around and smell the wildflowers. And the one who claims the heartland to be flat as a pancake, certainly hasn't looked at a pancake lately..... I mean come on, since when did pancakes have rolling hills, ravines and creeks, etc, etc?

The prairies are ALIVE with color, diversity, and BEAUTY!
Hues of soft and vibrant colors sweep across the land and wave in the gentl breeze. Bright Yellows and Golds of Sunflowers and Goldenrods glow in the sunlight.
Red, Blue, Brown, Gold, Silver, White - heads of diverse grasses, Tall and Short.
Vibrant purples, blues, pinks of wildflowers. Bright Red sumac....

The hills are alive with the sound of singing... The sound of creation singing to the Creator. It's absolutely BEAUTIFUL and stirs the imagination.

But it's only when we take the time to really stop and look around us, that we can truly enjoy the vibrant tapestry of life surrounding us.

Another thing... 

The other day I was reading. 
My cat decided it was time to be loved. 
NOTHING was going to stop her from having my full attention.
She was in my face, DEMANDING my love, my attention.
She'd lay on my book if she had to.

It was annoying, but then I had a revelation....

That is how we should be with God....

Desiring to be near Him, to be in His presence...
Not letting ANYTHING stop us from being near Him, from being loved by Him...

 

 

Okay that's all.
