"I must try and cultivate an eye for life's mercies...
And life, while it has its ugly swamps, its vile weeds, and its sharp thorns,
has always its fair flowers to charm the eye with their beauty,
or to fill the air with their fragrance..."
Rev. John Flowers Serjeant, 1878
But you, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. I cried aloud to the LORD, and he answered me from his holy hill. Selah I lay down and slept; I woke again, for the LORD sustained me. Psalm 3:3-5 ESV
Joining the lovely Deidra and her Sunday community...
Me, too, Allie. During a time fear controlled my emotions, this was the verse I would claim every night when I went to bed. And thank you, dear friend.
Why thank you, Shelly. A capture like that...is not something we can control, is it? It's the Lord that arranges the world...I just happen to show up with a camera.
