Listen
.
And you will hear
the breeze brushing
softly through the trees
birds singing
.
the frost embracing
the trees the plants
in a protective silence
.
And in this silence,
your heart beating
your soul awakening
God whispering
.
I made this for You 
.

author’s Note:
THIS MORNING, I TOOK A WALK down by the river in the woods that hugs its banks. The remains of a light snow gently covered the branches of the trees, the fence posts, everything, and as I walked I could hear the crunch of the snow beneath my boots. There was a slight chill in the air and just a whisper of a breeze. Birds were singing up above in the trees and as if in harmony the few leaves still hanging rustled just for me.
.
IT WAS HERE IN THE SILENCE that I could almost hear my heart beat, could feel it leap in joy at all the beauty surrounding me, as if God had personally come down to take me in His arms and embrace me. It’s in these quiet moments that I can feel the magic, the wonder, the spirit of the Creator and can get in touch with my soul.
.
IT’S MOMENTS LIKE THESE I have come to treasure and tuck away in my heart. I like to think of it as Food for the Soul.
