Communing with Creation
I rose early and went for a walk on the ridge where my friends Dan and Diane
live overlooking the lake in Middletown, California. As I walked among the
rocks and trees, I spotted a deer about the same time as she saw me. Both of us
mesmerized, I began to move closer and closer to her and sat on a rock nearby.
Soon two more joined her and began edging closer to me as they sniffed the air
for my scent. Wanting to make them more comfortable, I made myself appear
smaller to them by moving down to the ground and projecting peace and assurance
to them as I spoke softly to them of their beauty and my love and appreciation
for them. Soon there were eight deer with me, nearly surrounding me in their
circle, walking back and forth and stepping closer with each pass. The two
bravest of them came to within about five feet of me, as I began to sing to them
the melody of "Come Walk With Me in Our Garden" and the closest one looked me
right in the eye and then bowed her head to me. I knew she was bowing to the
Christ within, and I also bowed in response to the same. At that moment, a tiny
yellow bird flew into the branches above me and we too exchanged the knowing of
the love being expressed in that moment as he studied me from his perch and ate
of the seeds on the tree. Three woodpeckers flew into the trees to my left, and
began singing a song I have not ever heard them sing in fact I didn't know they
could sing till that moment. As I looked down on the lake, and again to each of
the loveliful creatures who had come to greet me in this quiet place, I was
overwhelmed with joy that my Father would orchestrate such an awesome experience
for me with His creation, to pour out His love for me in such a wondrous way it
was truly uncontainable, and as we all came down from the mountain of our Lord,
and I made my way back to the house, Diane's first comment to me was that I was
glowing yes, indeed, I had seen my Father face to face in His creation in a way
only He could bring to me.
I invite you to ponder on these thoughts:
Know that you are making a difference in this world by every thought of peace,
joy, righteousness and LOVE that you think and project! Every interaction with
every being we encounter ultimately affects all of creation as we continue to
walk in our Father's love and character! We are lifting creation into the
awareness of His powerful LOVE!
Expect the Unexpected!
