Although quite windy, the weather was absolutely gorgeous. I had several errands to run that day, but they would just have to wait a little longer. Nothing seemed as important, at that moment, than stopping to enjoy the arbitrary song of the wind chime.
The tune varied from gust to gust, but each was distinctly beautiful. I couldn’t help but think: Sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.¹ My heart swelled with joy as I breathed-in the fresh spring air and watched the trees dance to the song of the wind chime.
Then another pearl from God’s word came to mind: For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.²
It is true; we are living in very disturbing times. However, Scripture says: let all those that put their trust in thee [O LORD] rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield. ³
I don’t know about you, but that makes me want to sing for joy. My voice may not beautiful, and sometimes my songs are nothing more than spontaneous words of praise, but that which is not perfect can be beautiful too, like the arbitrary song of a wind chime.
¹Psalm 96:1
²Isaiah 55:12
³Psalm 5:11,12
One of my very favorite things in the world are wind chimes, so I HAD to read your blog about them! And I believe that they are singing praise to our Lord God! I love just sitting an listening to the sound they give the wind’s songs. I have several sets of them scattered about my yard, each a different pitch. I now have my eyes on a very BIG (low bass tones, LOVELY!) set at a local store, even tho will have to save up to get them, they will be worth every penny!!! Ya know… I think maybe I can MAKE them! Gonna try….
I enjoyed everything but the advertisement at the end…..

I’m glad you liked the blog. Just want to let you know that I don’t personally allow advertisements, but my blog server does add some at times. When I have some extra funds, I plan to pay for an upgrade that will stop the advertisements. Blessings….
