Scripture Sunday: A Huge Round of Applause!

July 1, 2012 By Sandra Heska King

Let’s hear it from Sky
With Earth joining in,
And a huge round of applause from Sea.
Psalm 96:11 (Message)

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)

Joining the applause and the wave of overflowing gratitude toward our Creator.

Joining Deidra and Katie

And praise partying with Patricia at Pollywog Creek as we celebrate His incredible creativity.

    Just beautiful, Sandy. And a lion. Coincidence since my bible fell open to the Book of Daniel this morning. God and I have a history with the Book of Daniel and lions. Lions show up when I need encouragement….

    Have not heard of this before. I wonder if there’s a group here in the Philippines that’s spearheading this? great idea! I would love to be a part of it! Patsy from HeARTworks

      I never had either, Patsy. I think this is only the second year-planned around the last Saturday in June starting at sunset in New Zealand and traveling around the world in a giant wave. Global gratitude for His creativity.

    Love this, Sandy – and how you found verses in The Message with the word applause. I’m going to go ahead an link to you on my “applauding” post this morning. Have a beautiful Sunday! xox

      You’re so good to me. 🙂

      Do you think God is smiling with all the applause?

    I love the little birdie with its mouth open. That’s me this morning, scrolling through Deidra’s Sunday linkups.

      You mean the screaming peacock? I should have posted a pix of him in all his colors. Maybe I’ll go back and add one. 🙂

    I just kept saying…wow, wow, wow as I looked at the pictures. That seems so lame of a word at the amazing-ness of the captures, though. Still. I’m wowed. I Love The Message!

For most of us, knowledge of our world comes large For most of us, knowledge of our world comes largely through sight, yet we look about with such unseeing eyes that we are partially blind. One way to open your eyes to unnoticed beauty is to ask yourself, "What if I had never seen this before? What if I knew I would never see it again?" ~ Rachel Carson in The Sense of Wonder

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faith Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. ~ Psalm 136:1
A tale of two iguanas... I did not see the iguana A tale of two iguanas... I did not see the iguana in the background until I downloaded the photos. That, I believe, is the one that got caught in one of the openings in the neighbor's chain link fence. We tried in several (safe) ways to dislodge it without luck and could think of no other option but to leave it. Somehow it apparently dislodged itself. We also believe this is the pair that was getting into another neighbor's garden. We haven't seen either one since the last cold snap, so we are wondering if they survived. 
🌱
Thinking some may have tumbled from their perches last night. Pretty sure it will be raining iguanas tonight since we are under a frost advisory. It's cold. And windy.

Whether you work in an office, a retail store, a restaurant, or at home... Whether you work on roads or on power lines, or on high buildings...Whether you collect trash or preach sermons, or care for your kiddos.

So pay attention. Find a poem.

I've been in a long creative drought, so I started morning pages--again. This time I've got a bit of an accountability group through @refineretreat's Refinery--which I finally also joined this year. I'll turn 74 this month. I'm not ready to grow old while I age--though everything does seem to take longer while time goes by faster.

Tonight’s walk in the neighborhood. I’m still Tonight’s walk in the neighborhood. I’m still kinda amazed that out of all the places we could have ended up after moving from a place I said I’d never move from), here we are—planted right next to the northern Everglades. Six-plus years, and I still shake my head in wonder.
