WELCH—WelchOK.com reader Everett Johnston sends the above photo with the following note:

“There is always something good to look at if we just search hard enough we will find it. All this summer my farm has been drying up to nothing and turning brown. Here is a sight I came upon as I was riding around on my 4 wheeler. It was beautiful to me, and made me realize that God is good all the time, even in times of drought, times of sorrow, times of trouble, and all times. This sight lifted my spirit; it was like a promise from God that green will return again; thank you Lord for this promise.”
