Isn't that a beautiful butterfly being upheld by those lovely lilac flowers?! I don't think that butterfly has a clue of its own beauty nor that of the lilac bush. Do you? 

Here you and I are sitting in our house and often we get so caught up in the difficulties of life that we are unable to see the beauty God has placed around us. We can't praise Him or sing when we are weighed down with our problems. Do you ever feel weighed down??

Just like this beautiful butterfly unknowingly sitting on beautiful flowers, we need to look around us and see all that we can be thankful for.

Today I had to get an old van inspected. It miserably failed and I was given a list a mile long of what ailments it had!! I am thankful that my husband will fix it, I am thankful that it has a totally full tank of gas waiting, that no one is hurt...just a failed inspection, that this was an added blessing and not our primary vehicle. 

It is too easy to miss the beauty surrounding my day when I focus on my circumstances instead of how God has provided and sustained our family in so many ways. Here I am sitting on a beautiful lilac bush while God is making something beautiful out of my life. I forgot to stop and smell the lilacs!! I am being morphed transformed into the image of Christ just like the ugly caterpillar that was changed into this beautiful butterfly.

I am being upheld as I journey this life. I mustn't forget!! I must remember to be thankful for the beauty God has placed around me.

Is God upholding you in some way?? 

In Christ Alone,

I know that He'll Uphold Me

By Jennifer Rene Daniel

It seems my feet have wandered

on an awesome precipice
Yet the winding path leads upwards

and my footsteps dare not miss

There are looming clouds of darkness

There are wailing cries of woe

Still the winding path leads upwards

and I know I there must go

I can hear the saved souls singing

Of their journey here below

I can hear my Master calling

for His voice I surely know

Thus I plant my feet more firmly

And I gaze on Him alone

For I know that He'll uphold me

'till my pathway reaches 'Home'
