“The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter. ’tis the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning.” Mark Twain

Word-Filled Wednesday: Clothing

The beauty of this world is astounding to me. Yet, most of it is to be found on temporal things. Flowers. Animals. Sunsets. Mountains. God makes these temporal things amazingly pleasing to the eye.

Yet Man, the only eternal aspect of this earth, worries about appearance.

God cares for us more than this flower, or this butterfly. How can we be concerned about our clothing--about how we look? He will provide. You can count on it.

Just FYI: I actually took this picture myself, on a "solitary visit" to the Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids (the day away was actually a special gift to me from my husband back in early 2003). Each year during March and April, they have an exhibit called "Butterflies are Blooming," that has a huge number of butterflies of many types. It is a wonderful place to visit, and I try to go each year.

Be sure to stop by The 160 acre woods for more visual inspiration from Scripture!
