Psalm 139:14
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
Just knowing we were created by God’s hand should help us to remember God’s power and creativity. I was not a fan of anatomy lab in medical school, but the intricacy and efficiency of the human body was and still is humbling to me. It is a beautiful thing, and I need to be more thankful for this gift from God.
Holy Lord, thank you for your many gifts- May I treasure and take care of all that I can. Your creation is perfect. Amen

Psalm 139:14
When I read this verse, I knew what I wanted to write. Then Mayson came to visit with his Mom. Mayson will be 2 in December and just this summer is able to sit up.

Psalm 139:14
Factories can stamp out hundreds of thousands of widgets that are exactly alike and they are rewarded by the purchasing public that expects and demands such uniformity. Only God can make hundreds of billions of people, each one a unique and irreproducible work of divine art. We worship a God of unlimited power and creativity - a God that at once makes us fearful while at the same time we sense deep in our soul is wonderful. Such is the mystery of faith.
Prayer - Thank You, Lord for the uniqueness of each person You place in our path and those beyond. This stunning mosaic give life its savor. While we are different in so many ways, my…
