Psalm 115 - Blessing and Praise

Since I knew Mother and I would be at home most of the time,
I prayed specifically that the Lord would bless our flower garden this year
and provide beauty in my own backyard.
My miniature roses have never been this prolific!
Praise the Lord!
“May the Lord make you increase,
both you and your children.
May you be blessed by the Lord,
the maker of heaven and earth.

The highest heavens belong to the Lord,
but the earth he has given to man.
It is not the dead who praise the Lord,
those who go down to silence;
it is we who extol the Lord,
both now and forevermore.

Praise the Lord.”

Psalm 115:14-18 (NIV)

Our God is the owner of heaven and earth,
and everything therein is His to give.
I can trust Him for my daily bread
and to provide all I need to live.
But He blesses me exceedingly,
that I may have abundantly more
than I ever deserved or knew to desire.
Surrender to Him brings blessings galore!

Susie, I love how you can see God working, even in the small things. Thanks for sharing your heart! Hopefully you'll get a chance to see a lot of his beauty and creation while visiting us. I love you!
