Creation’s praise…

 

 

The cell phone beeps

It’s the weather app.

Warning me of high winds and rain

and snow in the Cascades

That night I fall asleep to the sound of rain beating on the roof and drumming on the windows

and the creak of the branches in the old growth trees outside

whipping wildly

and I pray that none of the huge giants that surround our house

come crashing down

In the morning it’s still raining and the wind is still

whipping wildly

And out the window I see the grand old firs, and the massive red cedars

waving their branches in exuberant praise

clapping wildly

to their Creator

and the autumn leaves

from the birch and the oak and the maple

join in and twirl and swirl in a dance of colorful, extravagant worship

and something in me wants to join

in the extravagant dance, the exuberant clapping, the beautiful song

of creation

worshipping our Creator

saying

Worthy, worthy, worthy

of all glory, honor and praise

is He

 

Still following,

Elizabeth
