God,
with each new day you prove your love for creation.
You illustrate your beauty in an array of glorious color.
You establish your intentions in the hearts of your people.
You paint our lives into your masterpiece of original blessing.
Open my heart, I pray, to this enduring miracle of life.
Today let me drink in your restorative light,
let me rise up to the image of God within me,
let me grow unhindered in the immensity of your grace.
Amen.

Amen!
Thanks for your affirmation.
Absolutely beautiful. Thankyou.
Thanks, Stephanie. I’m happy you like it.
Sometimes, like today, an open heart calls us to await, allow, accept and attend to things that seem to be tearing us apart… but to wait and see what GOD is making of it all. Out of the choas the order comes in our faith.
Yes, we do often have to wait to see the unfolding of God’s grace. Thanks for your thoughtful comment. Blessings to you, Mark
Thanks for the blessings. I can use all the blessings I can get. Hope it’s not as hot where you are as it is here… Have a great summer.

Sam, I’m in total agreement with the chocolate! As I teach my children, “There can never be too much chocolate.” Peace, Mark
“Let me grow unhindered in the immensity of your grace.” WOW! We certainly need that. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Will follow yours.
