A sudden dip in temperature
Turns thoughts
Brighter,
Lighter.
Today I stepped into
Cool morning
Breezy
Breathy
'Live.
...
Flushed heart
Did lift
Heavenward.
Overawed,
I might have blushed.

This is 'koped' from Shuyi's blog. Really wanted a copy of it to remind me to treasure the lessons God is teaching me everyday.
The Lord is my Teacher;
I shall not lose the way to wisdom.
He leadeth me in the lowly path of learning.
He prepareth a lesson for me every day.
He findeth the clear fountain of instruction.
Little by little He showeth me the beauty of Truth.
The World is a great book that He has written,
He turneth the pages for me slowly;
They are all inscribed with images & letters--
His voice poureth light on the pictures & the words
Then am I glad when I perceive His meaning.
He taketh me by the hand to the hilltop of wisdom,
In the valley, also, He walketh beside me
And in the dark places He whispereth in my heart.
Yea, tho' my lesson be hard, it is not hopeless,
For the Lord is very patient with His slow scholar.
He will wait awhile for my weakness--
He will help me to read the Truth thru' tears.
Surely Thou wilt enlighten me daily by joy & by sorrow,
And lead me at last, O Lord, to the perfect knowledge of Thee.
--Henry Van Dyke

Hands.
Who is there like you?
And who compares to you?
Your glory fills the whole earth
And You reign over me.
Who is there like You?
And who compares to You?
You uphold the heavens
And Your hands cover me.
You're the designer of the universe,
Architect of the skies
Poet, painter, scientist,
Author of all time
And time is in Your mighty hands
And Your hands hold the world -
The world with all its people
You know and love so well.
(Each one so well..)
You took upon Your tender hands
The guilt of all you loved.
Gentle hands which nurtured, guided
Faithful hands which held us fast
Now surrendered to the cross.
---
When I see my Father in heaven
Working now so patiently
With authority that shakes creation,
With finest care, meticulously,
I'm amazed.
I tremble.
I laugh.
I cry.
I break into the broadest smile
At the thought of You.
Who is there like you?
And who compares to you?
Your glory fills the whole earth
And You reign over me.
Who is there like You?
And who compares to You?
You uphold the heavens
And Your hands cover me.
