You visit the earth and water it; you greatly enrich it; the river of God is full of water; you provide their grain, for so you have prepared it. You water its furrows abundantly, settling its ridges, softening it with showers, and blessing its growth. You crown the year with your bounty; your wagon tracks overflow with abundance. The pastures of the wilderness overflow, the hills gird themselves with joy, the meadows clothe themselves with flocks, the valleys deck themselves with grain, they shout and sing together for joy.

There is no where that man can look without seeing evidence of Your hand of love and mercy. Looking out this morning at a late winter/early spring landscape with the snow gone—it has nourished the land and fed the streams as it melted; the trees and undergrowth beginning to have that reddish tint that speaks of growth about to burst out; the return of the red-winged blackbirds—harbingers of the coming spring. All speaks to me of Your love for beauty and Your providential care for Your Creation.
