My Front Porch View

In the early morning hours,

I gather up my Bible

and head out to my porch,

Where I am anything but idle.

~

I see God's mercies

And hear the sounds,

Of His glory and beauty

All around!

~

I look up

and there I see

a Rabbit running

wild and free.

~

He pauses here

and dashes there,

I see God's Wonders

Everywhere!

~

Worship begins

to fill my heart,

I read His Word

and my day does start.

~

I ponder as

the trees I see,

dancing in the wind

So blissful and free!

~

My spirit is alive

and Praise begins,

Father your Creation

brings a Hallowed Amen!

~

I look up

And see the sky,

all colors of blue,

White clouds floating by.

~

My spirit soars

As I read His Word,

I know beyond a doubt,

My prayers are being heard.

~

My front porch

has become a Sanctuary,

Where I meet my God

And there we tarry.

~

Surrounded by the Glory

of the Living King,

My Spirit rejoices,

and Inside Praises ring.

~

Each day I meet

My God out there,

On my Front Porch

Where He makes me aware!

~

And Through His eyes

I suddenly see,

That Nature was meant

To restore You and Me!

~

Lord you have created

This World for us,

Let us not miss the blessings

And in You, put our trust.

~

Wildlife, trees,

Flowers in bloom,

You have arranged all this

So doubt has no room!

~

It thrills my soul,

When a deer strolls by,

Those deep dark eyes,

All their needs, You supply!

~

I thank you

for my front porch view,

Where I sit and ponder

And share my thoughts with You!
