The Little Things

 


There is the sea, vast and spacious, teeming with creatures beyond number - living things both large and small. ~Psalm 104:25


June's glory comes in

A floral cluster, bold, brave

Invites hope and praise

For the wonders small

That prompt us to pray without

ceasing.  The little things.

Amen!

  3. It's the little things we often miss Martha. Flowers mean nothing to me, nor do birds and butterflies, but my secretary absolutely loves them. She never fails to see the beauty in the small things. Now...if only Jo could get me to be a little more aware of (buying her) flowers. :)

    1. Just put buying flowers on your to-do list, Bill. It doesn't have to be for any special occasion. In fact, when they appear out of the "blue," it becomes even more special.

  12. I have always loved butterflies, birds and plants, and could never kill anything that comes into my garden, not even an ant. All of God's creation, both large and small, are there for a purpose. God bless.

    1. Good for you for trying, Barbara, but hydrangeas don't like Florida temps whatsoever. They seem to thrive here in North Georgia, and I so enjoy their blooms. Glad to share!
