Back to Nature

Here's a thought for you...
Why did God create trees but not houses?

Ok, other than the obvious "for us to learn, grow, develop etc" answer...

I was taken camping last night by my wonderful husband, he loves getting outdoors and all that rough n tumble stuff, with the spiders and the bugs and the dirt and the growing things...
But I was really surprised how just being outside in the middle of nowhere made me feel!

I felt at peace, I felt calm, I felt clear minded. It was awesome. I didn't have any concerns or worries whilst we were out there, I was just happy. Just us.

I believe that God wants us to get out there into nature to feel that peace and clarity. There is nothing out there to distract you, it's just beautiful to sit there and reflect. You instantly feel closer to Him. He wants places like that to be here for us, so we can get closer to him. That's what I believe anyway. I felt it strongly last night and especially this morning.

Our short little trip out there actually energized me too. When we came home I felt productive. I had the energy to tackle things I've been avoiding, I wanted to clean our house, I wanted to get that open, calm feeling from the bush in my home...
I know this probably sounds like crazy ramblings, but I just felt Heavenly Father touch my life this past 24 hours like he never has before, and I may not be able to put it into words properly, but I ma grateful it's there.
