“The sunshine and the rain, that gladden and refresh the earth, the hills and seas and plains, all speak to us of the Creator’s love,” (SC 9).
(Employ your fertile imaginations on this one) Do you know the language of the flowers? Can you interpret their messages aright? Are you cognizant of the gentle tones of their voices? Creation knows but one language and that is love. The question I posed to my students at this point was (personalized), “Am I listening?” When we walk encompassed in the loving arms of nature do we listen to perceive her lessons, her messages of love, of the Father’s love, for us? The mountains may shout of His majesty but to hear the delicate whisper of the flowers we must bring them close.
The hills and the mountains, the rivers and fountains, The deeps of the ocean proclaim Him divine, We too should be voicing our love and rejoicing, With glad adoration a song let us raise, ‘Til all things now living unite in thanksgiving To God in the highest, hosanna and praise. (Katherine K. Davis)
