Getting God's Attention ~

Knowing our selfishness [it was given to us by Him, our Creator], I think that God must be pleasantly moved when any one of his creatures breaks out of oneself for just a moment and sends up a word of thanks to Him — for life and what we see in other people and nature all around us.

I thank Him all day long.. how could one not? Everything is cause for joy. Look at a tree.. the green of chlorophyll that cleanses the air, the veins of a leaf so intricately carrying water from the soil to these furthermost appendages.. We make housing and furniture out of trees, and even a means of communication (paper) and wrapping for gifts.. A tree houses food for birds, it makes homes for the squirrels, and it's beautiful to the eye. It provides shade and fruit, camouflages a homeless pheasant. One can scratch an itch on the trunk whether a bear, a deer, or a person, or carve your and some special someone's initials in it.. It provides exercise and dreaming for kids; you can hang tire swings from it, and set down a brand new winged thing to take flight from.. So many leaves of green things are heart-shaped. Of course. :-) A Heart designed it all..

If one appreciates a tree that much, how much more do we admire and rejoice over those who are made in His image, how much more to thank Him for..
