Hello folks.  Below you will read the first entry written some years ago by Sister Janet Way of White Pine TN describing her thoughts on her front porch.  If the moderator or others want me to continue sharing these, please let me know.  I like them, but you may not.  Thanks to Janet for her submissions, and let's pray for her as she sends more my way.  Paul

  It’s a really pretty day out.  It’s cloudy; the sun keeps going in and out.  I don’t know what that means.  The wind chimes sound really pretty out here.  The birds are singing like crazy out here today, but I don’t hear my wood thrush a whole lot.  I hear it every now an then.  There is a breeze it feels really good and cool!  I can hear little baby birds they sound like baby blue jays and it sounds to me like maybe they’re  fighting.  I’m not sure if that’s what they’re doing but that’s what it sounds like!  There’s this one bird out here and it sounds like to me that it’s laughing!  I can also hear blue jays and I think they sound mad!  I think Nature is one of the most beautiful and wonderful gifts that God has given to us and I’m so blessed  to be able to hear the birds and the wind as it whispers through the trees and the wind chimes dingging although for now they are quiet.  I just think that even though I can’t see the flowers and the trees all that beautiful stuff I think God gave me a much greater gift because he gave me the ability to hear things in nature that most sighted people they just take it for granted!  They don’t listen to it!  They don’t listen to the wind whisper through the trees they don’t listen to what it sounds like.  It sounds like that God himself is singing a song or whispering a message to us!  It’s just so pretty!  Then I like to think that when the wind chimes start their dingging that it’s God playing a song on a piano or something.  Not a real piano just his own piano because it’s just so beautiful!  The birds and the wind and all the special things he puts out here in nature that’s his orchestra and his choir!  It’s just so beautiful!  The most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard in my entire life and I’m just really blessed!  God, I thank you for the beauty of nature and that I can hear it that I can sit out here every day in my porch swing and   listen to it!  All of this just fills me with so much peace and so much joy and  happiness and God I just want to thank you so much for it!  I’m really really blessed People!  I may not feel like it every day, but I really am!
