It is a lovely summer day and I am sitting on my veranda enjoying the breezes of the early evening. Suddenly I hear the soft, melodic sounds of my latest find. I purchased wind chimes online last week. There were so many varieties with so many sounds. Some of the chimes had deep melodic voices. Others tinkled like glass breaking. I picked the ones that had a soft tone and were not too loud.
As I sit here taking in the cool evening breeze and listening to God’s sounds reminding me of how good life is, the sound of the chimes reminds me that all is well. It seems the chimes have attracted more birds than I had seen yesterday. I thought it would scare them away. I have had this problem with other ornaments that I have hung in the garden. Apparently I picked just the right chimes with the right sound to make the passing birds realize that my garden will be as restful a place for them as it is for me. Oh well, time to go in. But I will take the sound of my chimes in with me in my soul.
