Yesterday I shared this photo of Mamore Gap in Clonmany on the Inishowen Peninsula in Co. Donegal, Ireland. I see it so often that I take its beauty for granted. Our act of worship was all about how we must try to appreciate and value our world and all its treasures.
A long time ago some people looked at the world and all the things in it and thought it was so wonderful they wanted to praise God for all that God had made. They made up songs and poems called psalms to show the wonder and awe of God’s beautiful world. As we listened to one of these psalms, we thanked God in our hearts for some wonderful part of God’s creation that we like and appreciate most…
Psalm 19 Verses 1 -5
When we look at the sky you have made,
We wonder how big it all is;
The moon and the stars shining there;
How far away can they be?
And we feel so small
Standing here on the ground;
And the sky is so vast,
So high up above
But you make us great,
Make us all just like you.
You give us your world,
Let us give it your love.
The world and all the beautiful things in it are a gift – a very precious gift from God to all of us. Let us, during this week, go out and look closely at some of the wonderful things there are to see in the world; a little flower, an enormous tree, a wiggly worm, birds flying in the sky and the colours everywhere. Don’t forget to thank God for these wonderful things. You may even like to draw a picture of some of them and share them below.
