What kinds of things can you notice in nature? Well, there is the sunrise and the sunset. There are mountains, rocks, and flowers. There are little animals that do funny things.

I remember when we first moved into our house, there was only desert for our backyard. And, one day as I was doing the dishes and looking out the window, I saw a little dandelion shaking.

I was shocked and intrigued and watched intently. Soon, the dandelion started rising up and there was the head of a gopher popping out and looking around with his two front buck teeth.  The whole dandelion plant was on his head like a stylish hat.

Take some time as often as you can and just watch the world around you and see what it has to offer you. You may see birds flying or even be at the beach and enjoy the waves.

Whatever you do and wherever you are, you can find a special inner happiness in something that is in nature, in this world created for us by a loving Heavenly Father and His son, Jesus Christ.

Perhaps, you will feel their love for you as a child of God. And, maybe your strugglings or sickness will seem a little smaller, and you will have a little more strength to face your life.
