“ … rocks and trees and skies and seas, His hand these wonders wrought. This is my father’s world…”
Today’s gift

All things bright and beautiful
All creatures great and small
All things wise and wonderful
The Lord, God made them all




Each little flower that opens
Each little bird that sings
He made their glowing colours
He made their tiny wings
-song by William Henry Monk





Today’s gift
This morning I gave a ride to my neighbor, as I do from time to time, to a farm east of here where he works. Dense fog rolled in over night, shrinking the view to what was at hand. Up for a challenge, I tossed my camera in the car thinking I might find something interesting on the way home. Here’s what I found.
Interesting to me and hopefully to you …








Today’s Gift…
This is my Father’s World

Wintertime flowers
Gracing a chilly morning
Far away from home


Wintertime flowers
Waiting safely in seed coats
For springtime at home

… Today’s gift
It’s October…
It’s’ windy, rainy
There’s a chill in the air.
Yet…
It’s a good day to go to the beach!





Unexpected Delight
Today’s Gift



Here are a few things I saw on my morning walk.



I thought I’d share… just for fun



Today’s gift

I knew where I was going.
I wasn’t lost.
My destination was secure.


However…
In the fog
There was uncertainty
About what waited ahead


Perhaps…
Something dreaded?
Something delightful?
Something unexpected?




Not to worry…
I know where I am going.
I am not lost.
My destination is secure.

On our way for donuts
Out of the blue
Ben
He wonders “How does God do this?”


Butterflies, hummingbirds, flowers, rain…
They float, they hover, they bloom, it waters…
They delight, they amaze, they beautify, it sustains…


He wonders “How does God do this?
Ben
Out of the blue…
Forgets about donuts …
And in his wondering …
Praises the One who made them.
Today’s gift.
