When I Consider Your Heavens

Saturdays are such different days.  Looking forward all week to having "Saturday" off, I find that it fills so quickly with housecleaning, shopping, organizing and - poof - it's gone.  I'm so grateful to have the time off, and of course appreciate what Saturdays are for - catch-up and whatever.

This past Saturday, while driving to errands I was quoting out loud some favorite verses from Psalm 8, "Oh Lord,our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth...when I consider Your Heavens, the moon and the stars which You have ordained, what is man that you are mindful of him?"

One of my four-year-old twins, Annah, said, "Momma, what are you saying?"

"Oh Annah, I'm saying a beautiful part of the Bible, where it talks about how great God is!" 

I wasn't really even aware that I was speaking out loud that beautiful Psalm!  May I do that more and more in the presence of these little ones!  May God help me recall favorite verses during even busy Saturdays so that my girls can hear me say what I know in my heart - that God is wonderful for creating this beautiful world.
