A Breath-Staking Honour

It is not hard to hear nature's worship hymn 

on a raindrop-dazzled peony-pink June morning!

Happy over-halfway through June already!!

Let's not waste a single breath-note on anything but praise!

iris, lupine, columbine and wisteria-purple

are pretty sweet too!

The last paragraph in today's devotion stole my breath

and inspired today's offering of awareness...

(from My Utmost For His Highest)

Lord, You grant every breath we take

With each breath we reply

Where your great honour is at stake

In such a worm as I

Lord, you grant every morn that rolls

Across the land and sea

Each breath draws vessels bearing souls

Toward eternity

Lord, who but You deserves all praise

Where your willed mercies brim

May we be honour-awed to raise

A breath-by-breath spilled hymn

True worship, who can know but You

You see each hidden place

Where redemption’s wellspring runs through

Each gifted breath of grace

Not all is as it may appear

Too often we suppose

Where You alone behold and hear

What breath does not disclose

Then Lord, with every breath we take

Make us humbly aware

Of the honour that is at stake

Beneath the cross we bear

…and may it be enough to know

With what each breath imparts

Worship needs not put on a show

For You to hear our hearts

Psalm 150:6

Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. 

Praise the LORD!

After some much-desired/prayed for rain

the gardens and fields are singing especially lustily!

Take My Life and Let It Be
