The Wonder of it all

On this gorgeous morning He has granted me this time to sit out on our front porch, coffee in hand, and take in all the beauty of this morning. The Sun is out, there is a delightful breeze, comfortable temperature, the only noise I hear is birds chirping. Those lazy clouds are just sitting there, hardly moving.

Almost like it was scripted, a bright red Cardinal lands up in a tall pine tree, then flew right down by me to a smaller tree, followed by a Robin and then two Doves fly by, and a Sparrow lands almost at my feet and sits there looking at me for a short while and then flies away. All this, and off in the distance I hear a train whistle, how great is that.
