Looking Out My Window

Looking out my window, God’s wonders are seen in the skies.
With expectations of a new day, sunrise is seen as it rises.
What will this day bring that wraps me in the arms of His love?
As the sun rises, eyes are blinded by its brightness above.
Gazing upon Its beauty, new revelation awakens with His love.

Looking out my window, the sun’s warmth is felt, so bright.
Squirrels playing joyfully with no thought nor care of fright.
In the beauty of His created ones, the hand of God is seen.
As squirrels and sparrows play and fly freely, His care is seen.
More than those who chirp and play, in us, He cares and delights.

Looking out my window, sadness is seen on those who pass by.
Seeing homeless walk by, I wonder where they sleep tonight.
As the sun fades, it gives way to darkness and cold with bite.
I pray, the provider supplies what’s needed as the sun fades away.
As birds and squirrels who play and chirp are provided for, so I pray.

Looking out my window, mothers with children joyfully stroll by.
Rejoicing in the miracles that’ve come forth, they sing a lullaby.
Gazing upon their beauty, their hearts fill with wonder.
Aware of the Father’s faithfulness, their cups fill with gratefulness.
Taking note of the beauty and wonder of God, they give praise.

Looking out my window, stray cats on the porch bask in the sunlight.
Sleeping contentedly, I notice they’re well fed, though they’ve no home.
The neighborhood their home, they disappear into the darkness of night.
Giving thanks, praise is given for the significance of a stray cat.
In awareness, I realize I’m more valuable and significant in His sight.

Looking out my window, for all that’s seen, I’m filled with amazement.
Seeing the Father’s handiwork, I rejoice in what’s made for enjoyment.
Looking with care and concern over all that’s conceived, peace liberates.
As faith arises, His love washes over me with all that He’s achieved.
Wrapped in the tender love of His arms and care, the moment is enjoyed.
