Daisy Trio and Psalm 27:4-5

"One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple. For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock."

-Psalm 27:4-5

 

This verse brings a sense of security that nothing here on Earth can bring.  I am in awe of that.  In the fall my grandfather was in the hospital, and currently my grandmother is in the hospital.  They are 90 and 88 years old, respectively.  As of last night, we weren't sure how my grandmother was going to fare through surgery and recovery.  Sometimes when the doctors fix one problem, it leads to more problems.  That's what happened last night and this morning.  This verse brought me comfort.  I try to be realistic.  I know that humans don't last forever, but when you take a close relationship that has been growing for 30 years, there are heartstrings that just break at the thought of losing the other half of that particular relationship.  I want my grandparents to stay here with us on Earth for as long as our good Lord will let them.  But when facing the fact that someday they will both join our God in heaven, the comfort in knowing that part of them is already home and that they are "safe in His dwelling," brings a sense of calm over me.  I hold onto that...knowing that they are, we all are, "safe in His dwelling."  Today I praise Him and thank Him for holding us all "safe in His dwelling."

 

For this Daisy Trio, I stuck to the natural look.  The photos were taken on our new pallet wood floating shelves that Todd made.  The neutral tones in the vases really worked well with the raw wood shelves.  These would work great for flowers or candles!  

 May you feel comfort from the thought that God already has YOU "safe in His dwelling!"

Peace and Joy,

Andrea
