Psalm 92:5

How marvelous are your works, O Lord.

The harp at Nature's advent strung

Has never ceased to play;

The song the stars of morning sung

Has never died away.

And prayer is made, and praise is given,

By all things near and far;

The ocean looketh up to heaven,

And mirrors every star.

It's waves are kneeling on the strand,

As kneels the human knee,

Their white locks bowing to the sand--

The priesthood of the sea!

They pour their glittering treasures forth,

Their gifts of pearl they bring,

And all the listening hills of earth

Take up the song and sing.

The green earth sends her incense up

From many a mountain shrine;

From folded leaf and dewy cup

She pours her sacred wine.

The mists above the morning rills

Rise white as wings of prayer;

The altar curtains of the hills

Are sunset's purple air.

The winds with hymns of praise are loud,

Or low with sobs of pain--

The thunder-organ of the cloud,

The dropping tears of rain.

With drooping head and branches crossed,

The twilight forest grieves,

Or speaks with tongues of Pentecost

From all it's sunlit leaves.

The blue sky is the temple's arch,

It's transept, earth and air,

The music of it's starry march,

The chorus of a prayer.

So Nature keeps the reverent frame,

With which her years began,

And all her signs and voices shame

The prayerless heart of man.

-John Greenleaf Whittier

He was found!

In the midst of the blooming poppies in our front yard, and in the meditation of His word and inspired poetry.

May we be encouraged to celebrate His marvelous works and lift up our prayers and praise daily.

Our hope is that through this process we'll not only be able to slow down so we can live in His comfort & peace each day, but that we'll also be able to create a collection of images to look back on as a visual reminder that He really is with us every single day." -Heather, Beautifully Rooted
