Fields with God is a Nature Devotional/Journal by homeschooling author Lorraine Curry. With over 100 pages, this paperback volume walks the reader through 'the gardens of life' holding the Fathers hand. Fields with God is an easy, peaceful read full of inspiration, quiet reflection, and beauty. It's not your typical devotional. This is a journal-style devotional with Scripture, poetry quotes, personal reflections, and wisdom from someone who has clearly learned to rest in her Fathers care.
An exerpt of Lorraine's writings from Fields with God:
The bright orange Daylily blossom lives for only one day. As the sun rises, the bud opens and graces us with perfection and beauty for one day only.
In the same manner the Son rises on each of our days and graces it with His love, provision, beauty and other good things. Our job is in recognizing and being thankful. He created a beautiful flower that most people never even take time to notice. Consider how much more He cares for you this day.
Rest in that love,, knowing today is good and even better days are directly ahead. This thought of God's immense love, is brining tears to my eyes even as I write it today. We all so need Him and His love in these daily does and they can be huge daily doses! Expect them today!
Ps. 68:19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation.
Luke 11:3 Give us day by day our dailyi bread.
Matt. 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow; for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.
I so enjoyed Lorraine's descriptions of the creation around her and her uplifting take on life and how God is in all. If you are looking for a "workbooky" type devotional of questions and such, this is not it. If you are looking for a lovely account of the life lessons God has shown one woman, this is for you!
