There sits between mountains a mirrorReflecting the Kings love and might.The lake speaks to only the hearer –Shows Heaven to those who have sight.

Provisions
The tiniest of creature You see. You are intimately acquainted with its way. You speak through Your creation. You show Your ways through brilliant glimpses. In my quiet search for You, I find peace and rest. In my wonder about Your creation, I gain wisdom and understanding. In my faithful observing, I find Your miracles…
