Heavenly Father Loves Me

Being able to experience Minnesota in the middle of winter, I have seen so much beauty. Steven and I have awed at the snowflakes that fell, each one was so perfect but all different. I would find myself standing in the middle of the parking lot just looking at my sleeve to admiring every flake. It has taken me 25 years to see a snowflake, but it was worth the wait!

Since the snow is now melted, I get to experience my first noticeable season change, spring. Tanner and I walked to our lake right outside our condo, and fed the ducks and geese. I am in love with these birds. I hear the geese are NOT friendly, but these two in particular were very friendly. The ducks were across the lake not wanting anything to do with us, but the geese saw us and gracefully came swimming toward us. We had a bag of bread and enjoyed feeding them. Once the ducks saw us feeding them, boy... how fast they swam to us.




While the wind blew in our faces I could not help but sing this song to Tanner. It's so simple, but so true. I feel like so many people over look the beauty of the world. Heavenly Father truly loves us and wants us to enjoy the beauty on the earth!

MY HEAVENLY FATHER LOVES ME

Words and Music by Clara W. McMaster, b. 1904

Whenever I hear the song of a bird
Or look at the blue, blue sky,
Whenever I feel the rain on my face
Or the wind as it rushes by,
Whenever I touch a velvet rose
Or walk by a lilac tree,
I'm glad that I live in this beautiful world
Heavenly Father created for me.

He gave me my eyes that I might see
The color of butterfly wings.
He gave me my ears that I might hear
The magical sound of things.
He gave me my life, my mind, my heart:
I thank him reverently
For all his creations, of which I'm a part.
Yes, I know Heavenly Father loves me.
