~ The World that He Hath Made

The beauty of the world I see
penetrates deep into me 
a sky so clear, bright and soft
to hold majestic clouds aloft.

This sky dost touch the ground of gold

Its presence always softly bold.

These trees speak of lasting life

through storm and heat, all kinds of strife.

Streams and creeks that flow around

Springs that flow right from the ground. 

Grass that glides with wind along

To blow and guide all life long.

Seasons allow the change to run,

To see that beauty has begun;

They come and go like day andnight;
Their hope is like the moon so bright

That yet in deep and darkness night

The moon shows promise through its light, 

That day will surely come again 

(He'll hide is face to say just when).

And oh that sun in majesty 

That spreads it light so all might see

The world that's simply our's to know

And from this place our life to grow.

We'll praise thee, God, who let's me see

The world that you hath made for me.

~ Welcome!!

Welcome, one and all!!
So, this is my first blog on blogger, and I am really exited! I hope that this blog will be an inspiration to all!  

          If we believe that all things are in front of us for a reason, and there is a God who loves us, we can truly be blessed by everything. The bible says that "If God is for us who can be against us?" We see death and pain as hard and horrible things, and they are; but we also know that God will not put in front of us what we cannot handle, and he will not leave hardships for us to face ourselves. Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, "For everything there is a season, and time for every matter under heaven." If we learn to believe that All things have a purpose and a reason, then we can truly, by the grace of Christ, be blessed in all times. 

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:

 a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
 a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

a time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
 a time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
 a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time for war, and a time for peace."

"If we leave everything in God's hands, eventually we 
will see God's hand in everything." ~ Anonymous
