					<description><![CDATA[&#8220;The kingdom of heaven is like a [very precious] treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid again; then in his joy he goes and sells all he has and buys that field [securing the treasure for himself]. &#8211; Matthew 13:44 AMP &#8220;Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. &#8211; Matthew 10:32 Jesus said to him, &#8220;I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. &#8211; John 14:6 Canada Jays flourish in cold weather. These birds live &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[He said to the crowd: &#8220;When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, &#8216;It&#8217;s going to rain,&#8217; and it does. And when the south wind blows, you say, &#8216;It&#8217;s going to be hot,&#8217; and it is. Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don&#8217;t know how to interpret this present time? &#8211; Luke 12:54-56 NIV When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers &#8212; the moon and the stars you set in place &#8212; what are mere mortals &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed. &#8211; Luke 5:16 Although we all share several common traits as humans, the Lord creates each of us as unique individuals. And that is a really good thing. Sometimes a verse or passage I read in the Bible makes me pause to meditate on the wonderous truths of the words being spoken to my heart. The above Scripture is one such verse. Seeking Solitude For many, many years I have sought solitude in the wilderness. I was never taught to do this, nor did I see it modeled for me &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you. In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind. Job 12:7, 10 (NIV) Finding a deer bed in the mountains is fascinating to me. These critters don’t just flop down whenever they feel a nap coming on. The locations they select are very strategic for their survival, even down to the detail of which direction they face as they settle down. When I discover a deer bed, I like to take some time to &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The LORD is slow to anger but great in power; the LORD will not leave the guilty unpunished. His way is in the whirlwind and the storm, and clouds are the dust of his feet. &#8230; The mountains quake before him and the hills melt away. The earth trembles at his presence, the world and all who live in it. &#8211; Nahum 1:3, 5 NIV From a scientific aspect, clouds are collections of small ice crystals and/or tiny water droplets. Because these droplets are so small, they can in fact float in the air. The actual formation of a cloud &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. &#8211; Philippians 4:11-13 NLT Wild turkeys, like the four pictured above, actively consume a large variety of food during their lifetimes. Their diet changes with the seasons, and they tend to forage on whatever is available. &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[For by Him all things were created in heaven and on earth, [things] visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him [that is, by His activity] and for Him. And He Himself existed and is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. [His is the controlling, cohesive force of the universe.] &#8211; Colossians 1:16-17 AMP My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip&#8211;he who watches over you will not slumber; &#8211; Psalm 121:2-3 NIV As &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland. &#8211; Isaiah 43:19 NLT I will open rivers in desolate heights, And fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, And the dry land springs of water. &#8211; Isaiah 41:18 I am the LORD, that is My name; And My glory I will not give to another, Nor My praise to carved images. Behold, the former things have &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins. So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel, which is translated, “God with us.” Matthew 1:21-23 And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Now there &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! Psalm 107:8 It is good to give thanks to the LORD, And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, And Your faithfulness every night. Psalm 92:1-2 Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. 1Chronicles 16:34 And when you offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, offer it of your own free will. Leviticus 22:29 Oh, give thanks to the LORD! &#8230;]]></description>
