If All We Had Was What We See....

Lots to tickle visual taste-buds this morning!

Thank-you God, for earth's beauty buffet

to tickle with delight the likes of us,

who far too often forget to thank You!

Great are the works of the LORD; 

they are pondered by all who delight in them.

Psalm 111:2

How hard and hurt-full life would be

If all we had was what we see

If hope could not transcend time’s toll

If the grave was its cheerless goal

If love was something we could buy

And stuff enough to satisfy

If this old crate of skin and bone

Full of debate and grin and groan

Was the pinnacle of a man

And height of mercy’s master plan

And all we had was what we see

How very futile life would be
