Pasture of Green

Come to my pasture of green, this place that I love so well; come and share all its bounty - every plant, flower and tree. Come to this meadow of green, harvest the fruit from the vine; watch the rain gently falling - silvery as a dew in the morning. As I look at the beauty around me I see just how much He loves me. I'm blessed with His gifts on earth - the seasons, plains and valleys. Lay down in my pasture of green to gaze at the clouds high above, hear His voice from the hillside softly calling "My child, I am here." Come to the woods, see His face etched on a tender, young leaf, revealed in a brook's peaceful sigh, whispered by the wind's lullaby.

I always feel closer to God when I am near nature.I used to lay in the grass and look at the clouds or walk in the forest and look at the moss and flowers and wonder where all the beauty in this world came from as a child. Beautiful description makes me feel like taking a walk in the wood's and admiring the scenery. Excellent Fred. God Bless Phyl

I always feel a little closer to the divine when I'm walking in the woods, or enjoyng the the waters of the Atlantic. Very beautiful words. My best, Charlie
