Ladies, thank you for your lovely graphics today.

This one, Meg, (post #597)
reminded me of a prayer
we used to say as children,
before every meal.....

Thank You for the world so sweet,
Thank You for the food we eat.
Thank You for the birds that sing,
Thank you, GOD, for everything!

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Yorkie.
That is a wonderful thanksgiving prayer that you shared.
Thank you for posting that with the sweet graphic.

Have a wonderful evening.

[JustAmy]

One more time in case the first disappears. :)

You can post it a hundred times, Amy,
it is so pretty! Thank you.

Here's a little poem I found -

Butterfly Laughter, a poem

by Katherine Mansfield

In the middle of our porridge plates
There was a blue butterfly painted
And each morning we tried
who should reach the butterfly first.
Then the Grandmother said,
“Do not eat the poor butterfly.”
That made us laugh.
Always she said it
and always it started us laughing.
It seemed such a sweet little joke.
I was certain that one fine morning
The butterfly would fly out of the plates,
Laughing the teeniest laugh in the world,
And perch on the Grandmother’s lap.

(Pam had a tiny tattoo of a butterfly (the size of a nickel) on the back of her shoulder.
When my son built his pool, he had a butterfly form set into the cement,
at the corner, in honor of Pam.)

Out Of Chaos
March 26, 2014

Read: Exodus 8:1-15

Speak evil of no one, . . . be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. —Titus 3:2

Bible in a Year:
Joshua 22-24; Luke 3

Everything I observe makes me believe this is true: Order is not natural. When I consider my office, I’m astounded at how quickly it descends into chaos and how long it takes me to restore order. Order requires intervention; it does not happen naturally.

I shouldn’t be surprised. God’s role in bringing order out of chaos is a prominent biblical theme. He did it when He was creating the nation of Israel (Ex. 7–14). When God said it was time to bring the Hebrew people out of Egypt, Pharaoh objected. His nation’s economy depended on the Hebrew workers, so Pharaoh didn’t want to lose them. To change Pharaoh’s mind, God sent 10 plagues to convince him. Pharaoh’s magicians were able to duplicate the first two plagues. But they could not reverse the plagues—any of them. They could cause chaos, but they could not restore order. Only God can do that.

With effort, we can bring order to our living spaces, but none of us can bring order out of the emotional and spiritual chaos of our lives. Only God can do that. He restores order to chaotic situations when we live as God intended—speaking no evil, being peaceable and gentle, and showing humility to all (Titus 3:2).

Father, our world and our lives do have much chaos
and confusion. We need You to restore our souls.
Help us to live as You want us to live—
loving others.

When we put our problems in God’s hands, He puts His peace in our hearts.

Good Morning And Welcome To Warm fuzzy Wednesday
At Amy's Place

Crocus

Blossom

Embedded in the rich, dark soil of history
My roots are still a part of me
Nourishing me, spurning me on
Making me face another dawn
Of uncertainty

Tickled by the gentle rains
Tackled by the hurricanes
My limbs drink in the morning sun
As I face another dawn
Of mystery

Trampled cruelly underfoot
Softly sighing overlooked
Moment by moment I grow strong
Searching for another dawn
Of destiny

As I graduate from Mother Earth
Creation celebrates my birth
And marvels at what I've become
Survivor of the dark and dawn
A blossom
