Peace

"I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in." ~ John Muir

I love going for walks during the evening. The sun begins to set and the air becomes a little lighter. Fireflies seem to appear out of nowhere and as the sky gets darker they look like floating Christmas lights flung out over the hills and valleys in my front and backyard. Last night I caught some and put them in a Mason jar but they looked so much prettier flying free that I let them go. When I go out and see the beauty of nature I know that God delights in His handiwork. He didn't have to make fireflies or make grass smell sweet when it is freshly cut or make mountains so majestic. He did though and I am so grateful for it.
