Of birds and water

Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?

-Matthew 6:26

I love the sound of rippling water as it glides past the rocks. I have many fond memories of going down to a local creek and just sitting by the water, soaking my feet in the cold water as I dozed off or just had some quiet time.

The Snow

For to the snow He says, 'Fall on the earth,'

And to the downpour and the rain, 'Be strong.'

-Job 37:6

Throughout the past week or so, this verse keeps coming back to me. It's amazing how God commands even the snow and the rain to fall, and where to fall.

Bridges...

For every bridge we come to in life, there are but two parts: where we've come from and where that bridge will take us. Without knowledge of where we've come, we cannot know where the bridge will take us. 

Adversity

A flower, growing in adversity, can grow to be the most beautiful of all. That flower, which has made it through the hardest of times and the worst weather, can blossom into something more precious than gold.

Mmm, mmm, good.

Ah, coffee! Where have you gone?

Where is the yummy goodness

of your semi-acidic, caffeine-filled taste,

and your rustic aroma?

I totally gotta get one of these suckers!

Pathways

There are many pathways;

Many doors to open in life.

Some lead to happiness

While others lead to strife.

Yet there is one way

That sometimes seems so dim.

But it is worth the walking

Because it leads to Him.
