Thin Spaces and Bottled Tears
Celtic Christians have a deep appreciation for nature and coined the term Thin Space . . . those transient, ephemeral moments when suddenly eternity seems to invade time, and heaven touches earth. Yesterday, my morning woods wander was graced with such a Thin Space interlude. A brief cloudburst had soaked the forest in the fragrance…

Wonder and Gratitude
The splendor of a lily bursting into bloom today immersed me in wonder and gratitude. Wonder of my Creator’s immeasurable greatness . . . Gratitude that the One who decks the fields with flowers (Luke 12:27); numbers and names the stars (Psalm 147:4); knit this infinitesimally small, wayward prodigal together in my mother’s womb (Psalm…

Reflections
“As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart.” Proverbs 27:19 King Solomon’s sobering words echoed from tulips’ ethereal reflections cast on the stream today. Pondering many of my heart reflections cast on life’s stream hasn’t created a lovely bouquet. However, we never step in the same stream twice, and by God’s grace…

“See how the flowers of the field grow? They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all of his splendor was dressed like one of these.” – Matthew 6:28-29 Four-leaf clovers are rare, with only about one in 10,000 plants. They’re an ancient Irish symbol of luck, believed…

Change of Plans
Uncertainty is a certainty of life. I can’t help but wonder if King Solomon, who exceeded all the kings on earth in riches and wisdom, had this in mind when he penned Proverbs 16:9 . . . “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord established their steps.” I planned to be in…

Beauty and the Beast
Spring in the Smokies is in glorious bloom! Today’s woodland wander was a stroll along Beauty Boulevard. “Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil or spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed as one of these.” Matthew6:28 . . . until going off-trail…
