God's Creatures

The Mystery of Our Celebration

Dorothy Johnson
 
Why would the one who
scattered stars across the sky, even
sprinkled them into the sea,
become a helpless babe,
walk among us,
feel our fear and pain,
do for us what we
 could not do for ourselves that
we might catch a glimpse of
the incredible love of our
 Approachable God?

Merry Christmas & Blessings in 2014!

I'm a lover of God, mother of three, grandmother of eight, and a collector of friends. I like nothing better than talking, listening, laughing and eating with that crowd. My husband, Terry, and I feel blessed to wake up each day to a magnificent view of the Arkansas River. An amazing variety of creatures, from bobcats and coyotes to deer, bunnies and nutria, along with all sorts of birds roam the natural area behind our house. We also share our home with three silly kitties. I often find a lesson in what I see both indoors and out on any given day and usually find myself writing about it. I hope you'll join me in exploring the ways God speaks to us through His creation.
