* Talking and Walking With God

Walking in the Park, my feet
rustling, crunching on fallen leaves.
The warm Autumn sun shinning,
through the trees warming me.
I am so glad you decided to join me.
There are so many things to ask you?

Thanks, God for joining me on my walk
this day so many things I want to know.
Do you cry when people are so mean?
What do you do when you see things,
like that? Do you ever get angry at them?
Oh, God how could you not, be angry?

I get so out raged when I see others hurting,
your creation for their own sick enjoyment.
So I know God Your heart must break, over
a zillion times a day, tears streaming.
Make me understand how could so many not,
see that this beauty around them is from you?

For me when I hear the sounds of birds singing,
cats, dogs, children running laughing it is you.
It makes me smile to know you are here in,
all the beauty, even in all the storms we endure.
The storms we go through make us better people.
I thank-you for them because of who I am today.

God, do you laugh when you see kitties playing,
when children are laughing, running, having fun?
Do you cry when you see the innocence stripped,
away from these precious lives by the evilness?
Thank-you for walking and talking with me today.
on this path with the colored leaves that you made.

God laughs a people who think that they can put up an affront to him. kind of like a one year old declairing war against a parent. but you ask all the right questians. just questions like a child would ask a parent. and give the cutest answers. think of God listening to the answer you give. as if asked by Art Linkletter or Bill Crosby. your answers a probably hilarious. jhl

Great communion with God can be anywhere but out in nature brings me especially close. I think of what is going through the air in the way of entertain on tvs of America and wonder what God thinks. I like the way that you presented the topic here. Keep writing. Sara

Beautiful write Rhonda, this connection you find in the sunlight to the source of it all God himself. My prayer for you is for healing, but if that is not to be, be encouraged. There is a better place to be experienced, than the one you are now experiencing. Sincerely, Love Moses
