thankful thursday...

thankful for my nikki who helps me capture moments, places, and things

such as these...

as i sat in my car stuck behind a garbage truck

which was taking forever...

i captured this

thankful that I get to see and appreciate little children's artwork

everyday when i go to work...

and from the book i am reading called

Crazy Love...

Have you ever marveled at the simple fact that plants take in carbon dioxide 

(which is harmful to us)

and produce oxygen

(which we need to survive)?

I'm sure you knew that but have you ever marveled at it?

And these same poison-swallowing, life-giving plants came from tiny seeds

that were once placed in the dirt.  Some were watered, some weren't; 

but after a few days they poked through the soil and out into the warm sunlight.

Whatever God's reasons for such diversity, creativity, and sophistication in the universe,

on earth, and in our own bodies, the point of it all is HIS glory.

God's art speaks for Himself, reflecting who He is and what he is like.

thankful that everyday during my carpool post at work

i get to see and watch these tulip bulbs

grow, open, and bloom.

God's art speaking for himself.

sweet!
