Aug 17.99: Light for The day - "God's Care"

"In the beginning God created the heavens
and the earth."
-- Genesis 1:1 (RSV)

-------------------
"God's Care"

How brief is our span of life compared with
the time since you created the universe. 
How tiny we are compared with the enormity
of your universe. 

How trivial are our concerns compared with
the complexity of your universe. How stupid
we are compared with the genius of your
creation.

Yet during every minute and every second of
our lives you are present, within and around us. 
You give your whole and undivided attention
to each and every one of us. 

Our concerns are your concerns. and you are
infinitely patient with our foolishness. I thank you
with all my heart -- knowing that my thanks are
worthless compared with your greatness.

-- Anselm Of Canterbury.

"Give thanks to the LORD because He is good;
His love is eternal."
