Perspective
He . . . sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers. Isaiah 40:22
Question: When is a bird bigger than a mountain? Answer: When the bird is closer than the mountain.
In reality, the bird is not bigger than the mountain, but it sure looks that way when the feathery fellow is perched on my window ledge and the mountain is far away in the distance.
Sometimes we perceive God this way in relationship to our problems. The troubles facing us seem huge because they are so closelike a big black bird with beady eyes and a sharp beak waiting for a smaller animals weariness to turn into helplessness so it can devour it. At such times, God seems as far away as a distant mountain, and we perceive Him as being small and unreachable.
The prophet Isaiah changes our perspective by asking these rhetorical questions: Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, measured heaven with a span and calculated the dust of the earth in a measure? Weighed the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance? (40:12). The Lord gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength (v.29).
Just as a bird is never bigger than a mountain, no problem is ever bigger than God. Its all a matter of changing our perspective.
The problems that we face each day
Can seem too much to bear
Until we turn our eyes to Christ
And trust His tender care. Sper

Graphic by MamaBear
A Poem for New Puppy Owners
Don't smell crotches, don't eat plants.
Don't steal food or underpants.
Don't eat my socks, don't grab my hair...
DON'T RIP THE STUFFING FROM THAT CHAIR!
Don't eat those peas, don't touch that bush,
Don't chew my shoes, what IS this mush?!?
Eat your cookies, drink your drink,
Outta the toilet! Outta the sink!
AWAY FROM THE LITTER BOX, IT'S FOR THE CAT!
(and must you kiss me after that?!?)
Raising a puppy is not for the lazy,
Those rugrats are funny but also quite crazy.
Don't despair through the toil and the strife,
'Cause after three years you'll get back your life!
So let's go for walkies, so you can do your "thing",
And maybe I'll get back my good diamond ring!

That must be quite a sight seeing an owl in your tree! I haven’t seen one around here for years, just hawks.

White owl Swooping
.. right there In front of us Face
.. moon-like And those huge eyes Baring into your soul (Or so it seems) Ethereal being Almost fish-like In shape As he passes our night Swimming into the dark sky I feel honoured To have seen him

My kitty Silky and the tom turkey are having a stare off through the sliding glass door..LOL..I love when the turkey comes to entertain. That is really funny, MEG. My nature thing is that I stepped out on the patio at 6:00 a.m., and enjoyed the sparkling stars in the still-dark sky.

Beautiful, LadyJ..Owls are wonderful... I have never seen a
Snowy Owl..I collect their pictures when I find them

I saw an owl at the county fair in September. They sit so still and unblinking, you wonder if they are real.
