Nature: Prompt word by @JonicaBradley Lead Image https://media.gettyimages.com/photos/womans-hand-brushing-through-wheat-field-picture-id1247727664?k=6&m=1247727664&s=612x612&w=0&h=6DOXW9yfLcNT7_zOul4bQKyaUuQlTHD-oHqSRL1x1z8=
I was planning a different post for today until I saw the prompt word from my Sponsor. My heart raced and I was already getting ideas on what to write on. So, I don't want to lose those ideas, I started jotting everything down and my mind was like *"hit the publish button, you can do other post later. Lol"* and that was why I made it here today titled **"Nature"**
God created everything in the world. He made the light, water, sun, moon, land, animals etc and including human beings. And do you know that **"everything He created were wonderful and beautiful?."** (Genesis 1:18) Among those He created beautifully was **Nature**. What is Nature? What can we classify as Nature? Come over here, grab a seat and let's dive in. Princess is ready to take you round Nature created by this Big God!
Nature is something beautiful, attractive, original. When we move around, we see nature around us. He made everything with purpose. Nothing on this Earth was without a purpose and that is why He is the great God who has provided everything for human beings. **Let's take a look at most of these natures.** **TREES**
This is one of the nature God has blessed human beings with especially the leaves on the tree for our own consumption. He gave us these leaves to make as herbs for us to live healthy. He made them as food for us so we could eat and survive.
Whenever I see the trees flying and wavering their bodies around with the support of the fresh air breathing into them, I want to believe they are also in their own ways praising God.
**WATERFALLS**
Water is something we cannot do without. When we go to the beach, river, stream, ocean, we see the flowing waters. Water from the North, East, West and South. They keep flowing and never looked back. The water is so clean that we just want to keep touching them and feeling the warmth in us.
I remembered visiting the waterfall in my hometown, I was dumbfounded to see that we have a waterfall in my hometown. It was just a wonderful experience to see nature. I love the water that springs out from the rock and walls.
**FLOWERS**
This is one nature I would always love to have around myself or as a decoration in my home. Seeing different flowers like; Rose, Dahlia, Tulips, Chrysanthemum, Sunflower, Orchid, Daffodils, Marigold etc. Their beautiful and romantic scents and how the bees surrounds themselves with beauty in the flowers.
**VEGETATION**
According to Oxford Dictionary, these are plants considered collectively especially those found in a particular area or habitat.
Moving around these places would make you feel some kind of love and healings from within. They are so cool and warm to keep standing and gazing at them. They are just too awesome.
Another thing I found as nature are the **BIRDS**.
We all have different kinds of birds and especially these beautiful ones.
***We have kinds of birds like;*** Waterfowl Mousebird Kingfisher Hummingbird Pigeons Cuckoos Cuckoo Rollers Kagus Falcons Cranes and Rails Hoatzins etc
These birds have sweet voices that when they sing into your hearing, you already melt. Their tiny voices will remind you of how wonderful God made them.
***Let's talk about something else about Nature apart from all of these.*** In Personality Development we were taught while in my 200 level, we have the determinants of Personality which are **"NATURE AND NURTURE".** While Nature is what is being inherited from the family like color, race, intelligence, behavior and characters. Nurture is the environmental influences being derived from experiences. Nature is something in us. What we mostly do and exhibit. Let's take for example; when it's my personality to always do good and be kind to people, I would say it's in my nature to do it. Same thing when you have the nature to be mean and dangerous to people around you. These natures can be gotten from the family either the father or mother. One of the children will somehow takes after either of the parents. So therefore, nature can be inherited.
**IN CONCLUSION** Nature has its own way of helping us and relieving us from every pains and problems in our lives. In other way, we have lessons to learn from every Nature God has blessed us with. We need to take care of every Nature around us. When we are depressed or feeling life isn't worth it, find time to visit Nature and you will understand that your problems are so tiny in God's presence. You don't have to keep blaming yourself over every circumstances in your way, Nature has a way of encouraging you and lifting your soul up.

I know what to write now for this prompt.. Thanks for your post π
I am glad this post inspired you ππ€
I love nature and you have listed things that I like most, trees and waterfalls. I like the shade that trees give us and to see them covering mountains and other places make me feel refreshed. I feel that waterfalls is my water element for I like the rush and power of it. It maybe unstable or destructive to some but it's energy and force draw me to it. I believe that we are naturally good. We are created after God's image anyway. It is the upbringing that we have, the environment that we are in, the things we let influence us, the treatment of others toward us - I think these are the factors that affect our true nature which could either break us or make us a better person.
I really appreciate your feedback on this. I also love waterfalls especially the sound of the rushing water and how it cools the body when the water gets to touch your body. Yes, we are God's image and it is only when our nature is of the good part, that we will be able to be better person.
I suddenly miss visiting the falls that we have here. Now that it's rainy season, the waterfalls are stronger.
I already have plans for this prompt. Thanks for sharing this. Personally, I'm living in a place with full of nature so it's better if I will take a picture first. Sorry for sharing my plans haha
It's alright. I wish I could have them around too and not taking from the site, it would only be my pride taking pictures of them around. I need to subscribe to you so I can get to be notified when you post too.
I love nature superπ the sounds of the waves in the sea, the trees , the sounds of bird's and a fresh air came from the nature.
That sound is always a sweet one for me whenever I am around water flowing away. It's such awesome.
I love this! Nature is home :) and we can never get tired of having them around us. Also, nature is "us" and our upbringing too.
I can never be tired of seeing them around too. Thank you my friend
God created everything perfectly. The trees,the plants, animals are all evidence of his greatness
Yes oo, All of them are so great.
True i did not think like this before because what scientists invented is not called nature,coolπ€¦ββοΈ
Since nature is something created by God and not scientists, we should get to move closer to understand it and nurture it too.
true .. Nature really bring extra meaning
Nature is always amazing and wonderful I would also make sure to write something on this prompt word.
Good. I should be expecting it soon right?
π smile. I already posted
God really do created a lot of things in this world so perfect on His own righteousness..ππ I do appreciate your entry my friend. It helped me to get to know more about our dear Mother Nature and its importance us.. Nice one my friend!π
I am glad you came by. Yes our mother nature should be cherished and protected, it's of a great importance to us
My pleasure my friend..π€β€οΈ
Nature is amazing, one of my mums best stations is natgeowild she cant stop watching it everyday...the beautiful Gods creation.
I am sure she must be surrounded by different kinds of nature, that was why she chose the place as the best.
Hahaha that is so true...
You are absolutely right sis. Nature has a way of helping us and also relieves us from every pains and problems in our lives. It shows how sovereign God is.
God do not want us to suffer and so He blessed us with Nature to heal our wound and give us hope again.
Indeed The God is best creator β€οΈ
Yes, because He gave everything to us freely.
I really was wondering why you suddenly changed your mind about doing that "never have I challenge" Anyway, I was looking forward to it, hopefully, you will do that tomorrow or next ππ Nice that your hands were itchy to write on nature instead. You did justice to it anyway and when speaking of nature, we are never lost of words to say and we have our creator to thank always for his wonderful creation. I remember that waterfall experience you shared some months ago π
Don't give me that look na π π€£π€£π€£ Don't worry, I will post the challenge tomorrow and perhaps you should get ready to laugh π π Thank you for stopping by
I sure will. I am already ready. Born ready! Good night πββοΈπββοΈπ€«π€«π
Nature is beautiful and awesome. God has given us this great thing of nature. He gave us all things and these we use to beautify our environments. We can always observe nature from different angles ranging from animals to plants.
Yes I agree with you. It is only when we move closer to Nature, we will be glad we did.
The one thing we have gotten from God freely is the beauty of nature and all the benefits that come with it, yet we have ended up trampling on nature as if it meant nothing to us... I wish we could get more closer to nature.
I wish too because only by moving closer to nature, would we understand how blessed we are by God.
This one has made me even appreciate nature more. You are right, dear. God really blessed us with nature and it's our responsibility to take care of it.
Thank you for stopping by π€
Very well written on this topic!! I was one of those who didn't like nature but after spending few months in nature i know it's importance and value
I also do not understand the beauty in nature until I grew up to understand what it actually means and could see the beauty in them. Thank you so much
Nature is the best cure for our soul when it suffers. And it's very true what you say about nature that we inherit from the environment in which we grow. But as rational beings that we are, we have to nurture it and transform it into something better. It's always a pleasure to read from you. Cheers!
I appreciate your feedback. Thank you so much
Haven't wrote about nature yet. I know I've missed lots of prompts from Miss. Jonica, i'd definitely do my best to catch up.. I loved your analyisis of nature and how you emphasized it was a work of God. What a majestic architect he is.
God is great and I appreciate Him for everything He created good.
Always will be. All praises be to God alone. He is our everything.
