All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying: “Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!” — Revelation 7:11-12

The angels fell down on their faces and worshiped God.

That's what we'll be doing in heaven one day.

Saying, praise and glory and wisdom and thanks be to our God.

Honor and power and strength be His for ever.

Amen!

This baby was born on new year's eve to my colleague at work - their first.

Kya Mae looks like she's ready to face the world.

We praise God for her birth.

God Give Us Our Food

All creatures look to you to give them their food at the proper time. When you give it to them, they gather it up; when you open your hand, they are satisfied with good things. — Psalm 104:27-28

We look to God to provide our food.

All creattures look to Him to provide what they need.

He knows just what we need each moment of the day.

God has opened His hand to us, and has given us over and above what we need.

He has made sure we are satisfied with the good thing he provides.

This weekend I made bread, pizza dough,vegetable stock, and lasagna to take to our friend whose husband just came home from the hospital. 

God has blessed us.

We are grateful for His good and perfect care.

The Earth Is Full of God's Creatures

How many are your works, Lord! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. — Psalm 104:24

God created the earth and filled it with His creatures.

Here's a monkey Abby met when she was in Ghana 7 years ago.

The trees in our yard are filled with birds of all colors and sizes.

And bunnies fill our yard and our park nearby, especially at dusk. 

Lizards run around on our cement patio and our stucco walls.

And snails emerge after the rains and within the ice plant on our bank.

In wisdom God made them all.

The Vast Sea

There is the sea, vast and spacious, teeming with creatures beyond number— living things both large and small. — Psalm 104:25

God created the sea.

We are looking forward to returning to the beach this summer.

Not for the crowds, but for the ocean water.

The chance to swim and boogie board and cool off on a hot summer day.

And to walk along the seashore, collecting rocks and shells.

Watching the fish teem in the shallow areas.

Enjoying God's creation.

Our Beautiful Earth

How many are your works, Lord! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. — Psalm 104:24

Piedras Pintadas Hike

On Saturday we went for a hike in Piedras Pintadas, around Lake Hodges.

We saw a boat on the lake, ducks and grebes, egrets, birds sitting on their nests of  eggs, mountains, lakes, and a waterfall.

Then we walked over the suspension bridge and listened to all of the birds chirping.

Waterfall at Piedras Pintadas

The cloud cover kept us cool. A perfect day for a hike.

Thanks to Kellie for organizing the hike and to everyone who came out to join us.
 
How many are your works, Lord!

In wisdom you made them all.

The earth is full of your creatures.
