Details Part 2 Gold Nosed Fly

Details...
Yesterday and today, I took pictures of a "grass flower", so tiny, I put it on top of an English penny just so you could get an idea of it's size. I spotted this little beauty in the grass, have no idea of it's name or if it even has one. Most people would simply call it a weed. But I don't believe in weeds! They are all so intricate and thought out, I prefer to call them, "Uncultivated, unappreciated, unnamed Beauties", or just flowers. Above, by the way, is my gorgeous fly!(The one I mentioned in Part 1) Also unappreciated... So where am I headed with all this rambling about flowers and details, size and unappreciated things? I am headed straight to God! He is Amazing! A Creator beyond our comprehension. But do you think if He took the time and the thought to take care of, and not just take care of, but to design with beauty all these details, that He did just that same thing in you? If details are important to Him, and I believe all of creation displays that they ARE, then how much more important are you to Him? How about the details in your life? One of my favorite verses says, The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He DELIGHTS in EVERY DETAIL of their lives. Psalm 37:23 (NLT) Jesus tells us not to worry and tells us how God clothes the "Lilies of the field" (grass flowers) :), how much more will He take care of us? ( This is in Luke 12) Then lastly, and most importantly, He calls us His "most treasured creation". Wow! Take a look around, go outside and be blown away about the wonder and majesty of creation. Smell a few flowers, bend down and look in the grass, look up at the incredible sky, mountains, clouds...then look for some very tiny details and remember what you mean to God, how He cares about the details of YOUR life, and how YOU ARE HIS MOST treasured creation...and be speechless...

Details !!! Part 1

I love details! Not the nitty, gritty, business-paper-work kind, oh, the very thought of that makes me cringe! No, what I am talking about are the details of nature. Flower petals, subtle colors, rain drops, pollen on a bee's hind legs, spots on the back of a ladybug, teeny-tiny details that seem not to matter that much, but... they do! What would our world be like if we didn't have these details? Well... without rain drops, we would not have flowers, and without flowers, we would not have pollan and without pollan we would not have bees and without bees, we would not have honey, and without honey, we would not have toast...Oh, you see where I'm going! A world without honey, ( ok, this is another post, because I so love honey and would love to go on and on about its health benefits and color and taste in a hot cup of tea...) But, I am going to reign myself in and get back to the "details" subject. ( Write to me if I don't have a "Honey" post within the next month!) OK, where was I? You see how this ADD thing can complicate a person's life? That's another post again! Anyway, I'm a hugh believer in the small details making an enormous difference in our life. Why? Because a Hugh God made these little details. Ever thought about DNA? How important is that and yet we went a couple thousand years not even knowing it existed. These microscopic things that were not "discovered" until microscopes and high powered cameras, always, were. That is after God made them! Have you ever had the opportunity to watch your live blood cells swimming around on a glass slide? Its incredibe, amazing, you can see the shape and health of an actual blood cell. Well, did we not all have blood until we could see this or understand its importance in our bodies? Hello! Have you ever smelled a Lily of the Valley flower? About four of these miniture blossoms would fit on a single penny, and yet the smell is so strong and distinct. They also have tiny pink stripes on the inside of the bud that I can hardly even make out with the macro mode on my camera. Again, why? Who would see this, who would care? How about a Grape Hyacinth? About ten or more purple blossoms would fit on a penny and they smell like grapes! I've seen a green bee through the lens of my camera, yes, opalesent green! Also a solid black bee, a fly with a gold reflexive nose, a bug that looked exactly like it was wearing a tux and a myriad of miraculous flowers in a rainbow of colors, shapes and sizes. Oh, how about the peacock that comes to my house everyday. I'm sure everyone has seen a peacock's feather close up. The metalic greens and blues are almost beyond description...
