Yesterday was on of those days that called your name to enjoy the outdoors. My sister-in-law called after church and asked if we wanted to go for a walk. Of course we said yes, and we enjoyed a beautiful stroll around a lake in a park near Bill and Janet's home.
I had my camera and took photos.
My favorite ones - of clouds and ducks and geese on the water.
They had a theme in common.
Faithfulness!
I noticed how my photo below shows God's faithfulness both in the reflected clouds and the goose and gander who mate for life!
Ducks also mate for life and I smiled at how they were never far apart from each other getting ready to build a nest and raise a family together.
Examples of faithfulness in the lifelong mating of birds or animals in nature always warms my heart because it reminds me that even though faithfulness is something that is no longer greatly valued in our society, God's examples in His creation still serve to encourage us that faithfulness is and always will be important to Him.
Our unchanging God is a God who is faithful and calls us to faithfulness as well - To Him, to His Word, to each other in marriage , in friendship - Faithfulness in our commitments and duties and prayer and caring for those in need.
As I looked at my downloaded photos yesterday, my heart thought was .. "How beautiful faithfulness looks!"
