The Creation ~ A Poem by Cecil Francis Humphreys
The Creation
Cecil Francis Humphreys
All things bright and beatiful,
All creatures, great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colours,
He made their tiny wings;
The rich man in his castle,
The poor man at his gate,
God made them, high and lowly,
And ordered their estate.
The purple-headed mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning,
That brightens up the sky;
The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden—
He made them every one.
The tall trees in the greenwood,
The meadows where we play,
The rushes by the water
We gather every day,—
He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell,
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made allthings well!
Today’s Thought: What Are You Waiting For?
Today’s tools await us to apply them to a new creation. There are people we’ll meet. There are people we live with. There are things we’re planning to do. There are unexpected events. There’s the weather. There’s our work. These are the tools we can use to create a spectacular day. What is the focus of our day. Is it confined to ourselves? Or, do we dare broaden our vision to include other people? We have in front of us an opportunity to make today something special for those we encounter as well as ourselves. What are you waiting for? Time’s a wasting.
Daily Inspirational Quotes ~ Love is All
“Love is the only reality and it is not a mere sentiment.
It is the ultimate truth that lies at the heart of creation.”
Today’s Poem ~ An Infant in Your Arms
An Infant in Your Arms
Hafiz
The tide of my love
Has risen so high let me flood
over
You.
Close your eyes for a moment
And maybe all your
fears and fantasies
Will end.
If that happened
God would become an infant in your
Arms
And then you
Would have to nurse all
Creation!
Something to Think About
There are hummingbirds that visit my yard every day. I don’t have a hummingbird feeder, but I do have flowering plants that attract them. The hummingbirds are part of creation and bring great joy to me. No airplane can fly with the dexterity and speed of a hummingbird.The bees also like to come to my flowering plants as well as other insects. I hope leaders throughout the world can work together to protect our environment for future generations and for all living creatures.
