Have you ever wondered about the way the earth may have looked, just as the Lord made it, before Adam and Eve sinned and were cast out of the Garden? Surely it was beautiful and peaceful; exciting, yet safe. We still glimpse it in the majesty of mountains, the purity of the first snowfall, love in someone’s eyes, and the smile of a baby.
Even today, in the midst of hurricanes and floods and devastating fires, God is mindful of His creation. His love is visible in the helping hands of neighbors and strangers, in words of forgiveness and hope, in all the beautiful things.
When Adam and Eve left the Garden, they must have taken the memory of it with them and the remembered times of closeness with the Lord. Perhaps that ancient memory has been imprinted on each generation–the way things were at the beginning, the way they should be. When evil times come, we can know that God is still with us. Although He may seem far away, He is mindful of what’s going on with His children and He cares. When trouble comes, He gives us hope to hang onto, love and caring. Just as it was at the beginning.

Nothing like the beauties of nature to make a person how any of it is possible!
Thanks for writing, Morgan. I love these quiet, cool, early mornings.
