Messages From My Porch in Meeting Mr. Jesus Christ

God’s beauty surrounds me these last wonderful days of nice autumn weather. The multitude of trees showing their glorious red, orange, brown, yellow hues. A lady bug has come to wander closely by me dozens of times as I sit and watch her, sometimes as she walks about my arms and legs. The birds are gathering, nesting in the shrubs and pines. They sing dozens of songs celebrating the season and surely discussing the need to ready for winter. The gentle rain comes and goes throughout the day, the rhythm on my porch roof soothes me peacefully. The southern breeze wakes my wind chimes and plays music to my soul. I sit meditatively, often praying to my King who answers and leads me through my day. Life’s miracles are present everywhere. The smile from the man who delivered my medication just now is the warmth of a kind, friendly person. My porch often hosts smiling, loving friends who renew my spirit. I watch the flowers fading away, saying goodbye with a final burst of colorful bloom. So beautiful are all these I see and hear my eyes blur with tears of joy. I can nary thank God for these tender moments.
