The calming peace and healing value of being in nature has a place in everyone’s life but may be especially meaningful for someone who is mourning.  A recently shared story by a grieving widow recalled how she determined to visit every one of the 31 parks in our county as a means to recover from her husband’s recent death.

Months later, on her husband’s birthday, she visited the final and 31^st park, on the shore of Lake Michigan. As she sat and looked at the beauty before her, she felt a shadow cross her line of sight.  She looked up to see a bald eagle soaring along the shoreline. And in that instant, she felt the presence of her husband.

God heals us in a multitude of ways.  Perhaps nature is yours.
