~The happy little mermaid called out to the sea," all you little fishies come and play with me", sings a happy little mermaid with a sea sweet smile" please little fishies come and play with me awhile."~
~I have birthday cards to make. These granddaughters have March birthdays and I can justify the joy in wallowing in the glitter and glue and glee of fancy and fantasy.~
Oh look! A little mermaid from the sea, I love this little mermaid and she loves me! ( click on these pictures to enlarge)
~The sea and all creatures mysterious and fantastical, the creatures of myths and legends and fairy tales.Do you know, they are not so far fetched. "
Praise the Lord from the earth, Sea monsters and all deeps;" Psalm 148:7 When you read the scriptures and the histories of the world there is much to be discovered...and do not discount these tales and discourses on what some person recorded as fact - the news of the times, as fairy tales. The arrogance of modern man is that we believe we alone are worthy of discerning the truth. We have raised what we call 'science' and placed it on the altar and call it "truth".
~Obviously my little mermaid granddaughters are fabrications, but really, there are so many mysterious creatures of the sea and creation that are beyond anything science can explain away.....why does the idea of a Creator, God, a Supreme Being , seem to be so far fetched, a fable or superstition, when you consider the awesome and unexplainable really do make sense when you again acknowledge that God indeed is The Creator?
I have been watching the news and seeing the devastating waves from the sea wash over the Japanese coast , wrap themselves around homes, cars, anything in their path, and suck them out to sea. I am so sad because I know there were people in those homes and cars who have to be dead.I watched the waves wash over highways where cars driving along them were also swept off and carried into the sea. ..."who enclosed the sea with doors, when bursting forth , it went out from the womb.." God - Job 38:8
"Of old Thou didst found the earth, And the heavens are the work of Thy hands, Even they will perish, but Thou dost endure ; And all of them will perish, but Thou will endure; And all of them will wear out as a garment, Like clothing Thou will change them, and they will be changed, But Thou art the same..." Psalm 102:18 The Japanese people have prepared their country better than any other on earth to withstand earthquakes and tsunamis, but the mighty ocean is more powerful than any human can prepare for when its' power is unleashed.I am hearing on the news now a whole town in Japan has been swept away and the Japanese Prime Minister is exhorting the Japanese people to help each other. Pray for Japan.
"..O God of our salvation, Thou who art the trust of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest sea; Who dost establish the mountains by His strength, being girded with might ; Who dost still the roaring seas, The roaring of their waves, And the tumult of the peoples, And they dwell in the ends of the earth and stand in awe of Thy signs. Thou dost make the dawn and the sunset shout for joy." Psalm 65:5-8
