My Teachers

God is so amazing! It seems His creativity knows no bounds. And why should that surprise me? I just need to look around me to see what a vast range of colors and textures, shapes, tastes and smells He thought of inventing for just the part of creation He intended to be our food... I am spellbound by a National Geographic Special examining the utterly incredible creatures in the deep seas. I watch fascinated from my driveway as a violent thunderstorm approaches, then overtakes my yard sending me running for the house hail pelted and wind whipped! How powerful! Quietly tucking away many other days I've shared the beautiful sunset extravaganza with my friend.

As she wrapped her arms and legs around me, she pressed her little head hard against my chest and said, "Keep me safe, Nonna."
I do see Your arms opened wide. Keep me safe, Lord.
