"In the days before his death,his Aunt Louisa asked him if he had made his peace with God.
His answer was "I did not know we had ever quarrelled, Aunt." Attributed to Henry David Thoreau
The LORD your God in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.”
Thank you God for placing me here in this world you have created. I could have been born anywhere or not at all, and I thank you that I was. Each day holds a glimpse of Your Heaven. Help me not fail to notice the small moments of wonder happening all around me. Too many days have passed when I haven't.
Consider just one bird....the cactus wren, so busy, so industrious is this couple that they build not one nest, but two....one as a backup, or maybe a decoy to fool predators?
And when I consider the full moon hanging there just so, its own presence daring us not to believe. I wonder how anyone can deny that kind of majesty and say that it was not created.....
that..... it..... just..... happened
We are all born with a spark of Grace.....made for eternity.
No matter how bad I think things are, there is always so much to thank you for. Sometimes it helps to do just that.
So today, I pause.
and when we pause ---- how sweet it is and blessed.
ReplyDeleteGreat post.
I love that comment, supposedly from Henry David Thoreau, as he was an odd bird. I don't know that he was a Christian, but it was always hard for me to believe that someone so enamored of nature, contemplation, and thought could not know and believe in the God of creation.
Hugs.
Have a great weekend.
YEs, hard for me to believe too...my heart hopes that he was :-) You have a great weekend too my friend! Lori
