All things bright and beautiful


I recall this morning a hymn we used to sing as young children in primary school. It goes like this:

All things bright and beautiful;
All creatures great and small;
All things wise and wonderful;
The Lord God made them all...

Let us today unite in giving fervent thanks to the Eternal One Whose wisdom rules the world. Great is the Maker of all things Who has provided everything needed to bring creation into existence and maintain it. All our progress as "modern man" derives from the use of materials already made available to us by Nature. No human being can create a grain of sand or anything for that matter without finding all the components from what is already on ground.

Little really is man to think of himself and his mundane issues.

Let us therefore turn our inner gaze upwards, think of God and give honour, adoration and praise to He that gave us life out of His immeasurable love! We should also resolve from now on to give thanks in our deeds by working towards the welfare of our fellow man.
