Jeremiah 17:7-8
"But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes, its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."
We sang "How Great is Our God" and "How Great Thou Art" during Spiritual Emphasis at school this week and that really got me thinking about how great and wonderful God is. He interacts with us and cares for us daily! It especially made me focus on how awesome is His creation. He is so creative and made beautiful things for us to enjoy. Just like the trees above, both are pictures taken this fall, one in Omaha and the other in Costa Rica. And there are a million varieties inbetween.
We were also reminded of God's creativity yesterday when we went on a tour of a wood factory about an hour from where we live. They make jewelry and other products from wood and seeds. It is all natural, no color added and the variety was unbelievable. Norman was in wood heaven! Did you know there is a purple wood called purpleheart? It is beautiful!
Below is an array of wood pieces used to make jewelry. They are all natural. The purple pieces are from the purpleheart tree. I am not sure what the 2 bright red and the lime green pieces are, I think they might be seeds.
The man above does amazing wood carving. We got to see him at work.
Below is a work in progress. It is a mamma horse with her baby.
The piece we are standing behind was also carved by the man pictured above. It is carved out of a root of a very large tree!
