Morning Devotions and Our New YouTube Channel

Flowers and candle at our table. 

 

As the days are warming up and the spring weather is bringing out the beauty of nature, here in New England, I am thinking about taking walks on the property.  One of my favorite things to do is to take pictures of pretty things that inspire or give me a sense of peace. 

A couple of years ago, we were out just after sunrise. We were dropping off one of the cars at a repair shop in a nearby town.  As we drove along, the sun was glistening on the trees and shimmering on one of the lakes.  I wanted to stop and take pictures on the way home. It had been raining for days. As I stepped out of the car and onto a grassy area, I realized the ground was deeply soaked.  I knew it would be a challenge to walk along in my favorite pair of shoes, but the scene before me was worth the effort.  The dew on the grass and flowers was fresh and beautiful.  I approached an area with a bench. I took several pictures. Later at home, I realized I had completely ruined my shoes but that was a good lesson for me. I learned to keep a pair of rain boots in the car just in case! 

In the comfort of home, I looked over all the pictures from the morning. They were stunning. 

One became the feature for a new cover for one of my old devotional books, "Early Morning Revival Challenge." This was first published in 2013 to help encourage the setting up of a dedicated time for morning devotions. 

As I looked at this photograph recently, I saw a little pathway leading to the bench.  Those were my footprints, appearing through the mist and dew of the morning. 

I get a sense of gratefulness and wonder when I think of how precious it is to be a child of God as we enjoy the beauty of nature all around us.

A few days ago, I wanted to set up a YouTube channel. Last summer, my old one had been accidentally deleted when I tried to remove a secondary account. I had not realized they were somehow attached in the account.  I am looking forward to working with this new one. To start, I found a few of my old videos and posted them to the channel.  One of those videos is a brief tour of the interior of our 1850's house. 

I hope to set up some kind of schedule to make short videos to encourage rest, peacefulness, and the joy of homemaking. I also hope to include homemade features of our books.
