Devotional Song: ... GO TO THIS LINK ...   Please take the time to take in this song with music and lyrics with Brian Doerkson singing  … Creation Calls,  calling all Christians to praise the Lord that He shows us Himself in His creation.

Even the stones cry out ...

My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author - Elisa Morgan … AT THIS LINK        …  tells of a family gathering at a river to commemorate the life of the ODB author’s father; …  and each person selecting a smooth stone (see photo) so that all the loved ones and family could remember her father. 

And if my readers take in the linked song, we know that all we have to do, is look around at creation to see what God has done - thru Christ - for us to see our Lord and King, who created all for our pleasure and for God’s glory.  Personally, I praise my Lord for it all; … how about you?  

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You, … for creating all we see and enjoy in Your creation.  

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray, … again today, … that all reading here will join me, …  to recognize and praise You, Lord, for creating all we see.     … AMEN
