See the Beauty

Please help me, Lord, to see the beauty that still exists in my life, rather than looking at what has fallen away.

Give me work to do; give me health; give me joy in simple things.
Give me an eye for beauty, a tongue for truth, a heart that loves, and at the close of each day give me a book, and a friend with whom I can be silent.

God's Handiwork

To say that the universe happened by chance is absurd. It's design, intricacy, and orderliness point to a personally involved creator. As you look at God's handiwork in nature and the heavens, thank Him for such magnificent beauty and the truth it reveals about the Creator.

Your Creation Fills Me Up

Lord, the beauty of Your creation fills me up. 

You have given me a sacred gift of a day, and 

I receive it with gratitude.

Undisturbed Life

A flat, undisturbed life doesn't usually reveal
