I did not plan to attend.
But this morning He slipped me a free ticket.
A front row seat to a royal performance.
One splashed with lavish colors and stroked with holy brush.
Love dripped and joy stained.
I hold my breath as the curtain rises on a white-spattered Crayola-sapphire backdrop.
As the light comes up, the trees turn cartwheels, lacy green tutus fluffed.
The dancers enter stage right and stage left.
I gasp in awe and applaud with glee.
When life seems to spin out of control, the truth is that God directs the show.
He continues to create and display beauty.
If I only have eyes to see.
May I never be blind to His artistry.
And always dazzled by His wonders.
And on stage today, but photos from a previous program:
Colorfully,
Applause, everyone. Bravo, bravissimo! Shout God-songs at the top of your lungs! God Most High is stunning, astride land and ocean.
~Psalm 47:1-2 (Message)
Dancing today with Laura
and L.L.
And distracted with Claire, Kelly, and Sarah.
And joining the Soli Deo Gloria sisters for the first time.
Oh, bravo, bravo! Applauding the beauty captured here in my little corner of the audience. Isn’t it? Amazing? If I ever lost my awe for creation, will you please shake the snot out of me?
If you promise to tie me into the nest.
All of that lovely spring in one place – too much beautiful!
Thanks for linking up with Three, Sandra! We’re so happy to have you!
Thanks, Kelly. I’ve hated that I’ve missed linking lately. But I’ve been shooting. 🙂
Absolutely beautiful, Sandra! What a perfect way to wake up on this Tuesday morning as we say “Good bye” to my husband headed to Shanghai, Singapore and Toyoko for the next 15 days. Love, love, love your words today!!
Thanks so much, Cindee. Oh, how I’d hate to say goodbye. I’d be pouting, “Take me, too.” Praying.
That free ticket was priceless … a stunning performance!
Priceless surprise for sure. 🙂
I did not plan to attend…but this morning He slipped me a free ticket. LOVE
😀 Thanks.
This brought such a sweet smile to my face. And after today, it gives me hope for a new tomorrow. I’m so blessed by your words and love that you linked up with us for the first time. I sincerely hope you will be back next week…
Thanks so much, Jen. So nice to connect.
Absolutely gorgeous! This is just the dripping of love and joy that I need right now. Thanks for sharing your front row seats to the stunning show!
Thank you, Anna.
“I gasp in awe and applaud with glee.”
You make me smile. 🙂
You make *me* smile. I probably stole that line from you. 🙂
Oh how beautiful. The words and the bird photographs. You are so right. He is right here, waiting for us to see. I’m so glad that you linked today. All will be blessed who click on your place. Happy to have “met” you. I’ll be back! 🙂
Blessings,
In Him,
Lora
Thank you, Lora. So pleased you dropped in. And I’ll look forward to seeing you again.
I also liked “He slipped me a free ticket”–and you weren’t expecting it. Yes, clap our hands for joy and praise at God’s marvelous works in His creation. I just love how His creation fills me with wonderment and joy.
To use a John Denver quote, “You fill up my senses…” Yes He does. (You’re probably too young for John Denver songs 🙂
Blessings,
Janis
Too young for John Denver? I think not. I fear not. 🙂
