Struck by their vivid colors I stopped to admire them. How precious is the moment one finds beauty in an unexpected place; a beauty that just takes your breath away if only for a moment in time? God has given us unlimited moments like this with\u00a0all of creation. Everywhere we look that man has not touched we find beauty in\u00a0nature surrounding us.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0On this Earth Day we should all take a walk. Find a park close by or just sit on your back porch without your laptop, iphone, ipod\u00a0or a book. Just sit or walk for awhile and truly listen to the creation\u00a0God has laid out before you. Breathe in the fragrant scents of the spring flowers. Let your eyes be tantalized by the vivid spring greens of the new leaves. Listen to the birds and watch the butterflies and bees take flight. We\u00a0have no need for entertainment\u00a0if we but look God will\u00a0provide nature\u00a0as entertainment more soothing to the ear,\u00a0more nourishing to our souls than anything man made.\u00a0 Take the time today and let God&#8217;s creation\u00a0be a part of your day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Earth Day we should take a walk or sit on our back porch for a little while&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":2835,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[116,22,43],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2836"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2836"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2836\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2835"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2836"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2836"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2836"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
