Behold, and Observe
The Things That God Has Done
I rejoice in His creativity,
whether it is displayed in a flower, the plumage of a bird,
the clouds in the sky, the unreachable marvels of the universe,
fields of blowing grasses, the infinite musical possibilities,
or the expressive creative abilities He has given us.
I also believe He has an awesome sense of humor,
one that doesn't hurt or destroy, but that reveals and uplifts.
I'm an Aide in a once a week homeschool class for kindergarteners and first graders, and one of their classes is Spanish.
The teacher had drawn pictures of animals on the board, and was working his way through the Spanish names for them. When he got to 'fish' he gave them the word for a single fish. Then he added the word used for more than one fish.
At that point this little fellow excitedly raised his hand and seriously asked, "What's the word if there are no fish?"
The teacher looked over at me, I smiled with a shrug, and the teacher said, "Well, I guess we wouldn't be talking about fish, then, would we..."
LOL! I have one that age, so I can really relate to that leader. I'm not usually that quick with my reply, though. I'm far too literal to teach little ones so I just muddle through and they make the best of it :D
Thanks for the laugh. Kids are just too cute. I used to love that show, "Kids Say the Darnest Things". Remember that? Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
To "think aloud" about whatever strikes me at the moment. Married to Bob, my philosophical, artsy scientist! We were church planters in France, are in our 14th year of homeschooling, have 11yr and 20yr old sons and an 18yr old daughter. We do homeschool sports, ballet, band and choir. My greatest joys in life have been from seeing God work. We have an awesome God, and I've seen Him do awesome things.

Some Favorite Scriptures
"A new command I give you:
Love one another.
As I have loved you,
so you must love one another.
By this all men will know
that you are my disciples,
if you love one another."
John 13:34,35 (NIV)
Then he stretched himself out
on the boy three times
and cried to the Lord,
"Oh Lord my God,
let this boy's life return to him!"
The Lord heard Elijah's cry,
and the boy's life returned to him,
and he lived.
I Kings 17 21,22 (NIV)
Be merciful to those who doubt;
snatch others from the fire
and save them;
to others show mercy, mixed with fear-
hating even the clothing
stained by corrupted flesh.
Jude 22,23 (NIV)
The rest of mankind that were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands, they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood - idols that cannot see or hear or walk. Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts. Revelation 9:20,21 (NIV)
