I love to look at the sun shining through the trees in our front yard in summer. The sun beams down, cutting through the overlapping leaves, diffusing it’s light over all the different shades of green. God must love the color green. When seen from space, the earth is blue and white. Beautiful. But up close, the primary color is green. I know there are desert areas that are more brown than green, but when I think of the original earth, the Garden, I think of green.
So many different shades of green. I envy the artistic souls who can see, name and possibly even replicate them all. I see green. They see lime, pear, pine, forest, fern and a multitude of other shades of green. Oh, to have the eye of an artist; God gifted them to see His Creation with their hearts and be able to imitate Him with their own creations of color.
Thank you, Lord, for green. For seasons so I can see the changing greens in my yard. For the sun dappling through the trees; for the passing of a day that changes the light coming through the leaves, changing my view from the window. Thank you, Lord, for loving beauty and for sharing it with us; for creating us in Your image so that we, too, can appreciate the beauty you created.
