Many an acorn crushes underfoot as I walk beneath the large canopy of the oak tree and I never cease to marvel at such a small acorn turning itself into a very large tree or I can walk in a forest across a carpet of pine leaves and see the tiny native orchid growing in the most unlikely place sheltered beside a fallen limb. Such mysteries, such surprises of wonder are before us every day, God's handy work for our enjoyment, our pleasure but if we never cease to hurry then we wont see these things, which are the face of God looking back at us as we pause in wonder. I read this lovely quote by Thomas Kimber: 'We may not understand nor know just how the giant oak tree throw their spreading branches wide nor how upon a mountain side the dainty wildflowers grow.' But one thing we do know and that's the creator who created them - The wildflowers in their beauty, the mountain ranges tall, the billabongs and rivers the friendly birds that call - the Lord God made them all. (TIS 135 v:1)
Grace and peace from the Lord Jesus Christ,
Anne, servant of the Lord.
