Haven't been writing much lately, as I've had a lot of headaches this week, but wanted to say hello to the world today as I'm feeling well again. Yesterday I felt O.K. as well, but it was grocery day and that is a big operation of many hours, followed by a crash landing. We tend to shop big approx. once a month and it was the day. It is a bit warmer today (40ish) and the horses are out to play. Was looking through our pics trying to find a springy one, because I wanted to inspire myself and to remember how lovely the flowers and leaves are, and happened on this one which someone in the family took last summer. I just marvel at the beauty God has created. Every time I step out the door I could take a new shot that displays beauty which he has created for His Glory and our pleasure. I'm sure this beauty draws me to think of him.

My mind turns to the contrast of this beauty, with the appalling scene of the very same God who created the flowers and sunsets, his Son's body, shredded and pouring out blood for me on the cross...displays His Glory all the more. No beauty on earth can compare to God's gift of himself for man, making the (my) hideous heart beautiful. Everything our eyes see will pass away. God's glory remains.

Is. 60:19The sun shall no more be your light by day, nor for brightness shall the moon give light to you, but the Lord shall be to you an everlasting light, and your God your glory and your beauty.

20Your sun shall no more go down, nor shall your moon withdraw itself, for the Lord shall be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended.

21Your people also shall all be [uncompromisingly and consistently] righteous; they shall possess the land forever, the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, that I may be glorified. (Amp.)
