Memory Verse Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 1 John 4:7
Exodus 6:28-9:35 Psalms 35
O God, great and wonderful,
who has created the heavens,
dwelling in their light and beauty;
Who has made the earth,
revealing yourself in every flower that opens.
Let not my eyes be blind to you,
neither let my heart be dead,
but teach me to praise you,
even as the lark which offers her song at daybreak. Amen
Hamilton-Poore, Sam, ed. Earth's Gospel A Guide to Prayer for God's Creation. First ed. Nashville, Tennessee: Upper Room Books, 2008. 78.
Creatures are not born with desires unless satisfaction for these desires exists. A baby feels hunger; well, there is such a thing as food. A duckling want to swim; well, there is such a thing as water. Men feel sexual desire; well, there is such a thing as sex. If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world. (Mere Christianity, bk. 3, chap. 10) 2
