I've been cleaning out and cleaning up today. Still leaving up the Christmas tree for another day or so to enjoy. It has just been good to be at HOME all day.


Here is something a friend sent me through email. I thought it was quite neat and hope you enjoy it, too.

What An Awesome God!

God's accuracy may be observed in the hatching of eggs.

For example :
-the eggs of the potato bug hatch in 7 days;
-those of the canary in 14 days;
-those of the barnyard hen in 21 days ;
-The eggs of ducks and geese hatch in 28 days;
-those of the mallard in 35 days ;
-The eggs of the parrot and the ostrich hatch in 42 days.
(Notice, they are all divisible by seven , the number of days in a
week!)

The lives of each of you may be ordered by the Lord in a beautiful
way for His glory, if you will only entrust Him with your life. If you
try to regulate your own life, it will only be a mess and a failure. Only
the One Who made the brain and the heart can successfully guide them to a
profitable end.

God's wisdom is seen in the making of an elephant.. The four legs
of this great beast all bend forward in the same direction. No other
quadruped is so made. God planned that this animal would have a huge
body, too large to live on two legs. For this reason He gave it four
fulcrums so that it can rise from the ground easily.

The horse rises from the ground on its two front legs first.

A cow rises from the ground with its two hind legs first.

How wise the Lord is in all His works of creation!

God's wisdom is revealed in His arrangement of sections and
segments, as well as in the number of grains.

-Each watermelon has an even number of strips on the rind.
-Each orange has an even number of segments.
-Each ear of corn has an even number of rows.
-Each stalk of wheat has an even number of grains.
-Every bunch of bananas has on its lowest row an even number of
bananas, and each row decreases by one, so that one row has an even
number and the next row an odd number.

-The waves of the sea roll in on shore twenty-six to the minute in
all kinds of weather.

All grains are found in even numbers on the stalks, and the Lord
specified thirty fold, sixty fold, and a hundredfold - all even numbers.

God has caused the flowers to blossom at certain specified times
during the day, so that Linnaeus, the great botanist, once said that if
he had a conservatory containing the right kind of soil, moisture and
temperature, he could tell the time of day or night by the flowers that
were open and those that were closed!

Thus the Lord in His wonderful grace can arrange the life that is
entrusted to His care in such a way that it will carry out His purposes
and plans, and will be fragrant with His presence.

Only the God-planned safe life is successful. Only the life given
over to the care of the Lord is fulfilled.


When God takes something from your grasp, He's merely opening your hands
to receive something better.
