a tree ~ crying out in praise to God

Really....

is anything more beautiful than a tree

caught on fire by the rays of the sun

shining brightly

 by the side of the road?

To round a corner and come upon this sight...

it literally takes my breath away.

Whatever it may be,

a full moon,

the vast ocean,

a red rose in bloom,

a shiny bright apple,

a tiny baby,

a little kitten,

all of these and so much more

 cry out their praise to God.

Tonight I am thankful for,

lunch with a friend and her listening ear,

supper with our family,

all of us gathered around the table

telling our stories of the day,

my husband, 

who lovingly prepared the meal.

A warm home on a cool evening...

promises from His word to hold on to for dear life,

reading to a tiny Ethiopian boy,

my bed waiting,

a good book to lull me to sleep,

a blanket to keep me warm.

I could go on and on...

Blessings are meant to be counted

and remembered,

and filed away for a rainy day.

"It is good for me to draw near to God;

I have put my trust in the Lord God,

That I may declare all His works."

Psalm 73:28
