My Front Porch View

In the early morning hours,

I gather up my Bible

and head out to my porch,

Where I am anything but idle.

I see God's mercies

And hear the sounds,

Of His glory and beauty

All around!

I look up

and there I see

a Rabbit running

wild and free.

He pauses here

and dashes there,

I see God's Wonders

Everywhere!

Worship begins

to fill my heart,

I read His Word

and my day does start.

I ponder as

the trees I see,

dancing in the wind

So blissful and free!

My spirit is alive

and Praise begins,

Father your Creation

brings a Hallowed Amen!

I look up

And see the sky,

all colors of blue,

White clouds floating by.

My spirit soars

As I read His Word,

I know beyond a doubt,

My prayers are being heard.

My front porch

has become a Sanctuary,

Where I meet my God

And there we tarry.

Surrounded by the Glory

of the Living King,

My Spirit rejoices,

and Inside Praises ring.

Each day I meet

My God out there,

On my Front Porch

Where He makes me aware!

And Through His eyes

I suddenly see,

That Nature was meant

To restore You and Me!

Lord you have created

This World for us,

Let us not miss the blessings

And in You, put our trust.

Wildlife, trees,

Flowers in bloom,

You have arranged all this

So doubt has no room!

It thrills my soul,

When a deer strolls by,

Those deep dark eyes,

All their needs, You supply!

I thank you

for my front porch view,

Where I sit and ponder

And share my thoughts with You!
