Burned Toast or Petunias?

Yesterday, I wanted a really crisp English Muffin with my egg. I hit the handle of the toaster a second time and went about my business. A few seconds later the smoke/heat detector blared it’s anger and I was frantically grabbing for something to fan the silly thing to stop it’s noise!

Good news – I had a crispy, crunchy, scrumptious English Muffin (what’s some black stuff among friends!)

Bad news – the whole house smelled like burned toast for hours! Not pleasant!

We have three baskets full of beautiful petunias by our front door. Massive collections of pink and purple blooms that sit there day after day in the sun, cold or hot, wind and rain. Regardless of the weather, in the early morning or evening we walk into the most wondrous fragrance – causing us to stop, inhale deeply and smile!

After the fire?

After the problems?

After the unexpected, the upset plans, the disappointments?

After all our circumstances, is our fragrance

Beautiful Petunias?

Take time away to “meditate” on God’s majesty

Psalm 145:1-7

I will extol you, my God and King,
and bless your name forever and ever.

 Every day I will bless you
and praise your name forever and ever.

 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised,
and his greatness is unsearchable.

One generation shall commend your works to another,
and shall declare your mighty acts.

 On the glorious splendor of your majesty,
and on your wondrous works, I will meditate.

 They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds,
and I will declare your greatness.

 They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness
and shall sing aloud of your righteousness.

Take time today, away from the “busy-ness” and noise of this world we live in to sit at the feet of Jesus and medicate on the “glorious splendor of our God’s majesty and His wondrous works”.

Let’s fill the air with our praise to our God and King!!!!
