Ah, Stephanie…what a blessing to have a “treehouse” where you can go to pray. That’s awesome! There is just something special about praying outside. I always tell people to do it whenever they can. It really gives you a different perspective and changes up the prayer routine. There’s nothing quite like being surrounded by God’s creation when deep in prayer. Thanks for your comments, and have a wonderful rest of your day.

We are among the trees and my husband (who was born and raised in NYC) will often remark that it feels like we live in a treehouse! Each morning, for most of the year (except the winter), I get up early, go on our little porch with my prayer books and spend a half to full hour in a most beautiful silence and solitude. As I look around at the sky and trees, listening to the birds, my first prayer of the morning is “This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice in it and be glad.” Getting up early and having this special time in prayer with God has made all the difference in the way I cope with life’s problems.
