The great love of God Oh how lavishly given - the pearl of great price and the treasure of heaven. (TIS 164)
The words of this lovely hymn came to my mind when my eyes were drawn to pearl like drops of precious water hanging on the leaves of a tree in the garden as the rain softly fell in the early morning. Life giving, life sustaining, drops of rain. I love it when my eyes settle on an image about me and there flows a bible verse or words of a song such as this - all because I looked at a pearl shaped rain drop on a bush that reminded me of the great love that God has for us all. 'It is yours it is ours O how lavishly given, the pearl of great price and the treasure of heaven.'
Show us Lord your love. Open our eyes. Show us your love. Anne, servant of the Lord.
