tiny balls of fluff

If you look closely at this picture you will see that the disputed geese have produced offspring....little tiny balls of fluff well camouflaged in the grass.

Early this morning I was sitting out back watching the morning take shape and here they came....a big goose, four babies, and another big goose. As they came swimming by I was amazed. God has given them everything they need to survive. His creation is flawless.

Early morning is a time to reflect....to set our minds and hearts on the day before us. It is a time to pray and ask God for guidance and direction for the day. It is the time to search the scriptures for verses that we can apply to our life.

At this moment the day is fading away into shades of night...the water is still. I reflect again on our great God:

Psalm 65:4 "How blessed is the one whom Thou dost choose, and bring near to Thee, to dwell in Thy courts. We will be satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, Thy holy temple."

Mark has taught Jake, who is almost three, this verse:

Matthew 5:6 "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness for they will be satisfied."

I wish everyone could hear him say it. There's just something about the word of God in the mouths of babes.

We who know Him are much blessed.....meet Him in the morning, rest with Him at night......never forget to be thankful IN all things.
