I am in Awe of how my Heavenly Father is continuously taking that which is unlovely, broken or discarded in and around me and creates something of great beauty and value. How He is able to take the difficulties and even the tragedies of life and use them to perfect and refine us into someone that brings Him Glory...to bring Beauty from the Ashes.

Choose Life
Words that heal and bring life...lies that crush the spirit.
Lord help me to be a tree of life...even as my spirit is crushed.
We just watched Prince Caspian last night and there were many references to trees.
To quote the movie: "When a tree turns inward, into themselves they go to sleep and forget how to dance." (I don't have that exactly right, but it's something like it!) God help us not to hide so deeply with in ourselves that we loose all our joy. We want to be trees that DANCE!

Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
A very good reminder! Thanks.
Silence is sometimes best!!
