The morning was cool, damp and still as I walked in the meadow listening. The cry of a bird rose from the distant woods and then silence returned as I began to pray. I was filled with gratitude for all of the blessings I’ve received, for my family, for my church, for my country. My heart swelled with praise as I considered the awesome vastness of the Creation around me and the realization that here I was, a nobody, alone and yet I was able to speak directly to the throne of God.
In my mind I could easily visualize all that He has done for me, all that He has given to me, and the great opportunities for service that He has entrusted me with. Then, a realization of another sort, for I came to see that even though I am but a tiny bug in God’s sight, He has taken the time to love me; how can this be? He has known me from the beginning, even though I am only one out of billions, and yet His Son died for me.
Amazing!
Then another realization: I am not a nobody, for I am a child of God Almighty, and as such when in His service I am a force to be reckoned with!
Thank you, Lord!
And now that I have begun my day in this way, I am seeking more opportunities to serve Him. Why? Simple; because He loved me!

I am so sorry I find it hard to read with white on black
Sorry to hear that! I can entirely understand since I have that problem with black on white…
Oh,I’ve not heard of that before…it must be hard
We all have our little cross to bear I guess
Knows the number of hairs on our head, and every thought we think. Knows our innermost longings which we ourselves cannot even find words to express… almost as if He is more me than I am me or something like that?
Thanks for getting me thinking and God bless..
