On Canada Day, July 1st, my parents woke up my siblings and I and opened our doors and said “STRAWBERRY PICKING”. So we just got up and got ready and went on to go strawberry picking.
🙂
Personally, I really love it when we go to the farms [So fun :)] and just have a different view from the busy city life. It is simply so relaxing and just simple.
We got to the place, got a few baskets and hopped on the tractor that would bring us to the fields 🙂
There were other people at the farm, children, parents, grandparents, friends, families. Once we got to the strawberry fields, I couldn’t help but thank the Lord for this wonderful blessing, I was with my family eating the most delicious fruit, so fresh and so refreshing. I was surrounded by many families who are happily and joyfully spending several hours with each other. Mothers and daughters picking strawberries together. Young children slobbering their mouths with the juiciest strawberries until their mouths became so red [So cute :)] Grandparents who have difficulty bending down to pick some strawberries have their lawn chairs and remained to look over their families and their grandchildren handing them some to eat.
EVERYONE WAS JUST SO JOYFUL!!! 🙂
It was a truly nice day. The sun was out up so high shining down upon all of us on earth. The sun the nourished the plants so that it will bear good fruits. I couldn’t help but be overwhelmed by all the joy that I was being blessed to witness, the joy that I was experiencing, the love that was just outpouring. 🙂
As I bend down to pick some more strawberries, I couldn’t help but notice something about the fruit that I was picking, I said to myself, “HEY! LOOK AT THESE CUTE STRAWBERRIES, THEY LOOK LIKE HEARTS!!!” Then I was like “WHOAH?! That is so true. HEARTS EVERYWHERE!!! EVERYWHERE!!!”
Our Awesome Father loves us so much and He wants us to know that He is always here to love us. He physically wants to show us His love that He even created a fruit that taste ohhh so sweet that is shaped like a heart! A plant that is well grounded and rooted with fruits that could be reached by all His children. Just like our Great Heavenly King’s love for us: free, total, faithful, fruitful.
As I looked around the fields around me, I couldn’t help but give praise to our Father. “Lord God, thank you for giving me a taste of Heaven.” Where I was, was God’s fields, a field filled with people exchanging love, sharing love, experiencing love, exuding love, they were being loved. Looking at the strawberry field, all I could see was sheer joy. 🙂
“Eternal Father, may we always see You and experience Your Amazing Love in the beautiful world around us. Through the beauty of nature, You speak to us. Through the beauty of nature, You show us Your great love for us. Thank you for loving us. We love You so much.”
Have a wonderful day!
God bless us always.
Peace and Love,
