Default OT - spiritual thought for the day

I put OT in the subject so people who aren't interested don't have to open this.


Landscape
By Roy Lessin
from Dayspring.com
(and adapted for sailing by Ellen MacArthur)


Your life's like a seascape and God has the brush.
The work is in progress, He's not in a rush.
Each stroke has a purpose, nothing's by chance.
To see all His wisdom takes more than a glance.

Notice the sunbeams that shine on the ways --
Even the clouds can't keep them at bay.
Look at the moonbeams that light up the night --
Their radiance makes the seascape so bright.

The Gulf Stream that's flowing with water so blue
Is bringing down blessings meant just for you.
The dolphin that plays enjoying the stream
Is like something you see in a so pleasant dream.

The gull in the air with his wings spread wide
Is just a reminder that God will provide.
Now look at the clouds above the island that's near
And remember the Shepherd who made them so dear.

He's brought them from pastures which give forth the best,
They cool and nourish and leave all refreshed.
The Frigate above, that soars o'er the gale
Is God's way of saying, "My strength will not fail."

That part of the painting which now seems unclear
Will take on new meaning with each passing year.
So trust God to work in His own perfect way
And rejoice in the beauty He's painting today.


Cheers,
Ellen

Hey Oz

He now and then paints with an abhorrent stroke
Some evil, deceitful, or misguided bloke.
He scratches His nose then He scratches His tush,
Then He dubs this mistake, G.W. Bush.

No, but I own a whole heap of Cochlear stock which I purchased when
they floated in 1995 IIRC and last month paid a $0.45 dividend.


So then you are familiar with the Nucleus Group?
