Life is Exciting

Life is Exciting To perch on a hill and watch the giant, fiery orb inch its way up the horizon into the morning sky . Listening to the silence of the trees in the still moments before the birds awaken with their sweet, gentle song. Breathing in the scent of fresh Spring earth that prepares itself for new seed and growth. Softly calls the Cardinal, 'pip,pip,pip', its maternal urge to stretch their wings and join the day. Oh! How exciting to be alive on a crisp April morning in the farmlands of the midwestern plains. Being aware of the earth breathing all around you with life,its fresh scent so sweet it fills your lungs with its aroma. I close my eyes and embrace it all in with wonder and praise to the One Who created it. I can't bear to have this moment stop, and I know that in a few short moments life will move on. The sky will fill with birds. The earth will swirl with insects and fauna. Soon the sun will hang high overhead and then find its way low and fade away. Another day done, and where have I gone? What did I do to help life carry on?
