The littlest things.

Once again this weekend I was struck by how this all powerful, sustaining force of every aspect, from the largest star and ecosystem to the smallest molecule, actually takes time to visit this little speck of a being, on this little speck of a planet full of other little specks in the vast universe that we call home.  

It started Saturday morning.  I woke up that morning and once again "I Can Only Imagine" made an appearance.  As I opened my eyes that song was playing on the radio of my brain.  This happens a lot for me, it's like I have a juke box, (er, am I dating myself?) in my head.  So I went about my routine, getting my coffee (need that !!), putting the grocery day supplies together so I can do my part of "gatherer" for the family.  List and coupons in hand off I go!  I get in the car, turn on the radio, and yes, you guessed it, "I Can Only Imagine" was on the radio!!  

Now you have to understand, Friday my Dad was gone 24 years.  And this particular Saturday was their wedding anniversary, the first they have gotten to celebrate together in all that time.  So for God to reach down His hand to touch and comfort me was just the sweetest thing.  It has been a rough week.  The mourning has been settling in and I needed, once again, the reminder that my Mom is indeed, dancing in Heaven, and not just with her Lord and Savior, but with my Dad as well.  

Moving on to Sunday morning service.  One of the songs we sang was "How Great Thou Art."  And that is when I was just reminded once again, how this awesome God of the Universe is intimately and lovingly involved in my life.  I was once again, visited by the lover of my soul.  Out of all this huge, endless universe, He takes the time to comfort one lowly being.  Truly, how great He is!  Enjoy this beautiful song below.  And remember, that He cares for each and every one of us as if we were the only thing on His mind.  

O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

Chorus:
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

Verse 2:
When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
[- From: http://www.elyrics.net -]
And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.

Chorus

Verse 3:
And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.

Chorus

Verse 4:
When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"

Chorus
