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!
