I saw the new pictures of Earth viewed from space by satellite and was amazed at the detailed sight of our planet through the eyes of new technology - a bauble full of lights and colour, detailing rivers and landscape, even fishing boats could be identified, such detail that whole towns of lights were twinkling out into space - a brightly sparkling bauble in God's hand.

Today I am decorating the living tree we potted and grew on from last Christmas, I buy a new bauble every year and when they come out I remember our children growing up, landmark years and events. This year's new bauble will remind me of that vision from space satellite of our planet teeming with light and life - a fairy light amongst many across the sky of God's vast universe. Treasure in God's hand.

That is an amazing picture. Love your idea of buying a new bauble each year to remember things that are special. Have a super Sunday.

What an amazing picture! I also buy one new decoration a year for the tree or for the house. This year, it may be for someone else, as we won't be home for Christmas. God bless, Betty
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely image that you create Betty - our 'bauble' earth, a treasure in God's hand. One to dwell on as we decorate the tree - thank you!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! I love your metaphor for the Earth, beautifully put! Hope you are well!x
ReplyDeleteI'll be thinking this all week, Betty, as I look at our hanging things. Thank you!

I like the thought of the world as a beautiful, twinkling bauble in God's hands.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful image, the world shining in God's hands.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a child we used to have a living, rooted tree and planted it back in the garden each year. We would use a tree for around 4 years before it was unable to be dug up again and then get a new one, so we also ended up with several in the garden.
I love it! We're floating here, protected and loved.
