A well ordered life~

Drop thy still dews of of quietness
Till all our strivings cease.
Take from our souls the strain and stress,
And let our ordered lives confess
The beauty of Thy peace. ~ John Greenleaf Whittier

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He that hears my Word and does it, he it is that loves me. If you love me, keep my commandments. His commandments are not grievous.

As I watched a pretty cardinal bathing in our bird bath today, I was amazed. How precious to see that little bird washing and then shaking his wings, then washing again, putting his whole little body in the water. Shaking again, he flapped his wings and then flew off. What a sweet picture of diligence in an everyday task.

No fretting. No worries. Just trust. I want to be like that pretty little cardinal. Trusting, going about my daily tasks and rejoicing in my maker and guide. What a great God to send me this sweet reminder!
