Thank you, Conor. Yes, they do grow up and sometimes just too fast! While
they're little, we can just love'em to death!

One Beautiful Moment

March 28, 2012

One snap of the shutter, and there it was . . . one beautiful moment captured in time for eternity. The late summer sun reflected in the breaking wave made the water look like liquid gold splashing onto the shore. If my friend had not been there with his camera, the wave would have gone unnoticed, like so many others that have come and gone, seen only by God.

Who can imagine how many waves Lake Michigan has sent rolling onto the shoreline? Yet each one is unique. As seen in every wave, God makes extravagant beauty out of seemingly mundane things. Using water and air, He makes wondrous works of art. We enjoy His gallery in skies above and on earth and sea below. But most of earth’s beauty remains invisible to us; it is seen only by God.

God uses another gallery to display His glory—humans. We too are made out of something ordinary—dust (Gen. 2:7). But to us He added an extraordinary ingredient—His very own breath (v.7). Like waves of the sea and flowers of the field (Isa. 40:6), our lives are brief and seen by few. Yet each one is a beautiful “moment” created by God to say to the world, “Behold, your God!” whose Word will last forever (v.8).

Only one life, so live it well,
And keep your candle trimmed and bright;
Eternity, not time, will tell
The radius of that candle’s light. —Miller
We fulfill our purpose when we serve our Creator.
.

Read: Isaiah 40:6-11

All flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is like the flower of the field. —Isaiah 40:6
Bible in a Year:
2 Samuel 19-21

Sorry I missed your day Yorkie. KNOW it is a mixed bag event. Yes, great to be with family & their love but the hard road ahead still and some vivid memories of horor to temper the day

May you continue to heal & grow in grace my dear friend, knowing that God still has work and plans for you.

I love this great thought... well said.

True. True. Back in the 70’s there was a popular phrase “Be here now”, this immediately came to mind when reading ‘Today's Bread’.

Funny how we project forward, what we desire to be or do, or project back in mind remembering the past, and the good and ill of it. Staying in the present, in the now is where life is. Let us thank God for this moment and the wonder and beauty of now. ... and the next and the next.

Graphic by Billie

Bunnies are brown, bunnies are white,
Bunnies are always an Easter delight!
Bunnies are lovely, the big and the small,
But I like chocolate ones the best of them all!

Bunnies, puppies, kittens, are so adorable, one of the reasons we are so attracted to them is ... they are obviously pure in their actions and responses.
Nothing fake or false about them.

Thank you, LORD, for the gift of Bunnies, kittens, and puppies, they stay pure all their lives.

O that people did.
