Mom!..What happened to my hair?

A fellow mate I lost touch, sent forth this photo of her little boy - after a haircut. I chuckled at his expression. All children are indeed beautiful.

The Greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven
Matthew 18:5 "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" He called a little child and had him stand among them. And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me.

The fear thing


I like the following passage.
Leonard Sweet writes,

"The fear thing is dominating our need for security. Just look at our cars to see the security issue at work. First we install seat belts. Then we install shoulder belts. Then we build contraptions that put both together. Then we turn the shoulder harness into a boa constrictor that pins us to our seats and doesn't let us move. Then we install air bags. Pretty soon we'll be riding around inside a giant marshmallow."

A giant marshmallow? Like the one above?
1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear...

Be - If you may find Him


Today I saw a comment left by a reader two months ago with the following song by Neil Diamond. He left part of the lyrics on the comment and a video link for me to view.

And I was touched by the video. Although the video was not complete, it was soulfully majestic. What beauty that I had soulfully miss. It reminds me of the infiniteness of the universe and the Lord. His mega and awesome presence. The King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Today, I manage to locate the full video by Jonathan Livington as well as the lyrics and will like to share them. Yes, music explains profound emotions. .
I found another video The Odyssey which I fell in love. All of them magnify God's wonderful creation of every land, every ocean, every living creature, every man, every mountain and storm. All nature in itself. Including the Light and life He created..
Yes, God passes by.

Be, By Jonathan Livingston Seagull

Be, by Neil Diamond (By the reader)

Thanks Reader, whoever you are.

Lost
On a painted sky
Where the clouds are hung
For the poet's eye
You may find him
If you may find him

There
On a distant shore
By the wings of dreams
Through an open door
You may know him
If you may


Be
As a page that aches for a word
Which speaks on a theme that is timeless
And the one God will make for your day


Sing
As a song in search of a voice that is silent
And the sun
God will make for your way

And we dance
To a whispered voice
Overheard by the soul,
Undertook by the heart
And you may know it
If you may know it


While the sand would become the stone
Which begat the spark
Turned to living bone
Holy, holy
Sanctus, sanctus


Be
As a page that aches for a word
Which speaks on a theme that is timeless
While the one God will make for your day


Sing
As a song in search of a voice that is silent
And the one God will make for your way
Exodus 19:4 You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself.
