Blue Skies and Mountain Air
Appreciating the untouched wonders of God’s creation
As a youth into adulthood, we travel different roads through these ages. Moving from cities, states, and even countries, we get to experience life from many cultures and backgrounds unlike our own. We get the chance to adapt to these lifestyles until we come across one that we would like to settle into.
With the many places I have come to visit and reside, there can be none better than that of one with blue skies and mountain air. It is a calming effect that rushes through my mind, body, and soul and tells me “this is home”.
In every breath of air and the sights that overwhelm the senses, peace, and serenity fill my heart. Gone are the stresses of the day, tasks and duties to be accomplished, replaced with the joy of untouched nature.
This is the world God has created. We have been placed within it to explore its grandeur and bountiful wonders.
The blue skies and mountain air replace the city lights and busy byways so many of us populate. This is a time for quiet, relaxing solitude. A time to give to yourself and appreciate what this life has to offer through His creation.
Pause and Appreciate
Take a walk with me along the pathways that wind through the hills of vast trees and vegetation.
Stroll past the streams, rivers, and lakes that were formed over the years by His imagination.
Breathe in the fresh scents of the plants, flowers, and foliage that hasn’t been tainted by our human living.
Experience the formation of the valleys and fields that house the animals of the wild.
So much life is untouched by human existence. A life that has its own meaning and purpose. Life of free spirit and will to go and do as it pleases.
This free will is where my life longs to return to. To be in awe. To look into the heavens above, capture the oxygen of the Lord's breathe, and experience all that He has created.
And then appreciate the life He gave me.
