Have you ever wondered at the great gift our five senses are? Just consider the ability to see! The beauty of creation, the beauty of what our hands can create. Then there is all we can feel, smell, taste and hear.
God could have given us a much more bland existence, but instead chose to give us this sensual, wonderful world. He gave it for our enjoyment.
The heavens declare the glory of God;the skies proclaim the work of his hands.Day after day they pour forth speech;night after night they reveal knowledge.They have no speech, they use no words;no sound is heard from them.Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,their words to the ends of the world.In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,like a champion rejoicing to run his course.It rises at one end of the heavensand makes its circuit to the other;nothing is deprived of its warmth.
(Psalm 19:1-6)
Amazing Grace and Eternal Peace be yours,

Father, Your works surround us and add such depth and beauty to our daily experiences in life.
You not only tend to our daily needs but through Your great works You delight our senses by that which we see, touch, hear, and feel as we admire Your handiwork.
Help us to pause in our busy schedules to listen to the rippling brook, smell the tree blossoms, observe the mountain grandeur and recognize Your creative power in the plentiful ornamentals that we have the privilege of planting, growing and tending over the warm months each year.
Your great works are observed in the Scriptures and admired in our daily lives.
How wonderfully extravagant is Your works that we enjoy each day, for it is truly the heavens declaring Your glory and the firmament showing Your handiwork.
For them we are grateful.
Amen.
