An eagle sits in the cedar Another is soaring nearby. If he hadn't called I'd have missed them. I just wouldn't look that high. A rufous towhee is searching For seed that's been spilled on the ground. A re-filled feeder awaits him, If he'd take a good look around How often we miss God's treasures Just because we don't raise our eyes. By keeping our narrow focus We blunder and miss the prize. We go through our lives with blinders, Not seeing the glorious view. Not appreciating His wonders, While our selfish ways we pursue. A rainbow after the rainstorm, Is worth living through rainy days. Just lift your eyes from the puddles. His benevolence will amaze. By: Joyce January 21/2002 [This message has been edited by Joyce Johnson (01-22-2002 01:05 PM).] |

  (sigh) Soooooooo beautiful, sweet friend, may we all hold true the simplest pleasures of life, the sounds of songbirds, rainbows arching across the sky, the sound of a child laughing in joy, and feel joy from all these gorgeous things! (kiss on cheek) Soooooooo lovely, sweet friend, we all love you so much! God Bless You! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Joyce, thank you for sharing!   May love and light alwyas shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Oh Joyce, how I do love your last two lines. I shall not look at puddles after today's heavy downpour. Thanks for sharing. Cheryl |
