"The heavens declare the
glory of God;
and the firmament sheweth His handiwork."
Psalm 19:1
As we look at the world around us, we see the beauty of God's creation. He is the
Artist who has made it all! We look up and see magnificent things in the
heavens. We look down and see wonderful things growing up out of the earth.
All around us is the beauty of what He has made. It is His handiwork! The color, sound,
smell are all there for us to enjoy! What a gracious and loving God we have
for these blessings!
Art Galleries and beautiful
poetry are two of my favorite things and
I have included a short list of them here for you
to enjoy visiting.
Poetry
The Bible has in its books the most beautiful of all poetry
The Psalter and the Song of Solomon.
The voice of my beloved!
Behold, he comes Leaping upon the mountains,
Skipping upon the hills.
My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag.
Behold, he stands behind our wall;
He is looking through the windows,
Gazing through the lattice.
My beloved spoke, and said to me:
"Rise up, my love, my fair one, And come away.
For lo, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone.
The flowers appear on the earth;
The time of singing has come,
And the voice of the turtledove Is heard in our land.
The fig tree puts forth her green figs,
And the vines with the tender grapes
Give a good smell.
Rise up, my love, my fair one, And come away!
"O my dove, in the clefts of the rock,
In the secret places of the cliff,
Let me see your face,
Let me hear your voice;
For your voice is sweet,
And your face is lovely."
Song of Solomon
