TUESDAY 28 APRIL

 Morning All

So day 2 challenge, the letter B - Beauty

You know something, even in the midst of all the unrest, the anxiety, the seemingly dark days - there is beauty. The daffodils are blooming, the tulips, the snowdrops, butterflies, even the bumble bees. When I walk the dogs I see people tending their gardens, I look at the green hills, I see trees blossoming ( I love the cherry blossoms in bloom ) When I was a midwife in 'The Rottenrow' the hospital badge was the snowdrop - signifying new life. You know people 'new life' will come again, by that I mean this way of life we are living just now will pass - and who knows this new life may be even better, more balanced, more fruitful, more tolerant. What would you like this 'new life' to look like ??? In the beauty of creation and nature may your hearts always be open to see the beauty in each other. Wouldn't that be something beautiful.

Rev Kay

God loves you - No Matter What

PRAYER: Lord thank You for nature of every kind. Thank You for beauty because if we open our eyes and our hearts wide enough we can see beauty all around us, not only in nature but in each other. Thank You for the beauty we see in Your love and for the beauty we read in Your word. Help us this day to appreciate at least one aspect of beauty. Amen

CHORUS:

All things bright and beautiful,

All creatures great and small,

All things wise and wonderful,

The lord god made them all.

Each little flower that opens,

Each little bird that sings,

He made their glowing colours,

He made their little wings.

All things bright .....

The purpleheaded mountain,

The river running by,

The sunset and the morning,

That brightens up the sky.

All things bright .......

The cold wind in the winter,

The pleasant summer sun,

The ripe fruits in the garden,

He made them every one.

All things bright .......
