"Wonderfully Made" + Brayered Embossing Folder ~ Budding Vine

 Hullo there everyone, I thought I would take the time to share the blessing of comfort from the LORD..

Last Monday 22.4.13 I had cataract eye surgery as many know. I found this verse on the day of the surgery, on our daily calendar ~ a real blessing. Lying on the operating table, I was marvelling at not only what man can do; but most of all of the wonder the human body, formed and created by God. 
 Marvellous that part of an organ can be plucked out and another put in, accept it and works so well in time.

                  This verse has always meant lot to me as for years in my youth I was very bitter that the LORD had not done what I thought was "a better job on making me". As a teen I really struggled with it - but one day in my twenties the LORD taught my heart the real wisdom God had - "His ways are not my ways". I now could say and mean it: " My lips shall praise thee, O LORD, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made..and this my soul knoweth right well".. and mean it with all my heart. God's way IS best.
This time waiting for my eye to heal and to have glasses that work for close vision again ( in 4 more weeks) I have time to appreciate afresh how vital vision is, as are all our senses. I really do love the magnifier on the computer.
  I pray for all who have vision issues. My aunt has macular degeneration, almost blind now and regularly pray for her with it.

I would also like to share this poem from Abby's of "Little Birdee Blessings" blog:

My Lord and I

I have a Friend so precious, so very dear to me.

He loves me with such tender love, He loves so faithfully.

I could not live apart from Him, I love to feel Him nigh.

And so we dwell together, My Lord and I.
 .....

Sometimes I'm faint and weary, He knows that I am weak.

And as He bids me lean on Him, His help I gladly seek;

He leads me in the paths of light, beneath a sunny sky.

And so we walk together, My Lord and I.
 .....

He knows how much I love Him, O that I loved Him well;

But with that love He loveth me, My tongue can never tell;

It is an everlasting love, In ever rich supply,

And so we love each other, My Lord and I.
