holy monday

"praise the Lord!
         praise the Lord from the heavens;
         praise him in the heights!
praise him, all his angels;
         praise him, all his hosts!
praise him, sun and moon;
         praise him, all you stars of light!
praise him, you heavens of heavens,
         and you waters above the heavens!"

~ psalm 148.1-4, new king james version

i thank you God

for the birds chirping outside my window (even if it wakes me from sleep)

for the smell of freshly mown grass (even if it excites my allergies)

for the beautiful blooming white tree next to my house (even if it smells horribly)

for the insects that sing me to sleep each night (even if it creeps me out)

for the sweet breeze flowing through the air (even if it warns of windy storms),

because the chirping, the aroma, the blooming, the singing, and the breeze...

this is creation praising You, our Creator.
