I guess the "alone" time is beneficial to me since I feel close to God when I am alone, and I feel His presence when I am in the midst of raw nature.
This week, storms rolled in, but the beauty that comes with a storm cannot be discarded from the experience of a storm. And as I looked to the Heavens and admired the clouds rolling in, I felt awestruck at the natural beauty that surrounds us.
Man cannot compete with God's beautiful, ever-changing works of art, always on display...free to behold. God holds a universal canvas in his possession, yet He shares its captivating elements with us, every day. He is a generous artist.
It's up to us to decide whether or not we will take notice of the beauty in front of us.
I notice, and I celebrate the beauty He unselfishly provides.

Lana, I agree, there is something about being in the wide open spaces and seeing a storm come rolling in that puts my life in perspective. I was out for a walk this summer about two miles from home when a thunderstorm popped up. I had nowhere to go, so I just kept walking. It was exhilarating and scary, at least I didn't get struck by lightning, but those vast clouds overhead made me feel as small as an ant!
