It is so funny that God reveals his beauty to me while I'm at work, which I am a majority of the time. Tonight I was lifeguarding the outdoor pool and just sat and listened to the crickets singing. Some people might find the sound annoying but I find it soothing. It makes me think of when I was little. I would sit out on the gazebo at my house in Ironto, just watching the fire (which I forced Dad to build) and listen to the crickets chirping and the fire crackling. I loved that sound, I could listen to it forever. Anyways, tonight listening to the crickets chirping out by the pool I was shown God's beauty.
The sounds of nature are so beautiful to me, it's like God's own personal sound-soother. I smile when I think about how many people listen to soundscapes to go to sleep at night. I think God knew what he was doing when he gave those little crickets their chirpers. The sound is beautiful and peaceful, and I thankful for a reminder of simpler times when it was just me, Dad, the fire and the crickets.
Just remember how beautiful the sound is the next time you think about killing this little guy...
