~ My Thanks !! ~

"Thank You, Lord, for a million little things, for parking places in the rain and lost things found and cakes that turn out okay.

"Thank You for lights that work and spare tires that still have air in them.

"Thank You for woolly lambs and for smiles with holes in them. Thank You for the warmth of fire, for music and for sweet words. How I Love words !

"Thank You for letters and for telephone calls that matter. Thank You for a million wonderful scenes stored forever in my mind's eye - scenes of sunsets, of ocean beaches sparkling in the sun, of redwood trees and brooks and river banks and a place called home.

"Thank You for people who sincerely Love and tell you and are NOT afraid to hug.

"BUT most of all, thank You for being there always and for allowing me to say, like Thomas, 'My Lord and my God."

May we always give thanks for everything, knowing that our Heavenly Father is pleased when we accept each situation as His will." Rosalind McNair

"Always giving thanks to God the Father for everything in the NAME of our Lord Jesus Christ (Ephesians 5:20)."

* ETERNITY ...

"He has put eternity in their hearts" (Ecclesiastes 3:11).
"I once came across a scene of beauty outside Anchorage, Alaska. Against a slate-gray sky, the water of an ocean inlet had a slight greenish cast, interrupted by small whitecaps. SOON I saw these were not whitecaps at all but whales-silvery white beluga whales in a pod feeding no more than 50 feet offshore. I stood with other onlookers, listening to the rhythmic motion of the sea, following the graceful, ghostly crescents of surfacing whales. The crowd was hushed, even reverent. For just a moment nothing else mattered.

The author of Ecclesiastes would have understood the crowd's response.
He sees with dazzling clarity the beauty in the created world and that God "has put eternity in their hearts" (Ecc. 3:11). Such an elegant phrase applies to much in human experience. Surely it hints at a religious instinct. Our hearts perceive eternity in ways other than the religious.

Ecclesiates presents both sides of life on this planet: the promise of pleasures so alluring that we may devote our lives to their pursuit, and the haunting realization that these pleasures ultimately do not satisfy. God's tantalizing world is too big for us. UNLESS we acknowledge our limits and subject ourselves to God's rule, unless we TRUST the GIVER of all good gifts, we will end up in despair." P.Y.

What watchful ear can hear
God's voice amidst the garden?
Yet hush! for He is here'!-C.
