This is the sixth lesson in Dr. Camden Bucey's Reformed Academy course, Defending Our Hope: An Introduction to Christian Apologetics. Why is there such a stark contrast between the worldview of the believer and that of the unbeliever? This lesson addresses the theological concept of the antithesis—the fundamental spiritual divide between those in Christ and those outside of him. You will learn how this distinction, rooted in covenant representation and union with Christ, shapes every aspect of life and apologetic engagement. By understanding the nature of regeneration, resurrection life, and our new identity in Christ, we are better prepared to witness to the truth with clarity and conviction, while holding fast to the hope of God's redemptive purpose for his people. 01:13 The Fundamental Distinction between Believers and Unbelievers 04:31 Covenantal Representation 09:25 The Resurrection 20:18 The New Identity in Christ 29:23 Living Out Our Union with Christ 32:10 Summary and Conclusion  Register for this free on-demand course on our website to track your progress, download supplemental resources, and assess your understanding through quizzes for each lesson.

Lamentations 3:19-33 | Bulletin

07/20/2025 Morning Service – “The Anchor Of Hope” by David Truesdell. Lamentations 3:21-24

This one is about "Lamentations of mine". I can't count the number of times I have cried for the past three weeks, but the tears were created to flow, right

The primary purpose for the book of Lamentations is to share with you and me, the reader of this book, how those who experienced that death and destruction and devastation felt as they were going through this time of God's judgment. But before we go any further, we need to be very clear about a biblical truth. Now, although God used the Babylonians, and if we read carefully, the book of Jeremiah, not just the Babylonians, but there were other nations around Judah that joined with Babylon in order to take advantage of this time, and they did not do so out of obedience to God.To donate please visit us at:https://loveisrael.org/donate/Checks may be sent to:LoveIsrael.org6355 N Courtenay Parkway Merritt Island, FL 32953Feel free to download our MyBibleStudy App on telephone https://get.theapp.co/yjjqwe don't know how long we can post the teachings on YT https://www.instagram.com/mybiblestudyofficial/ To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1256/29

In week seven of the Fruit of the Spirit series, Pastor Lucas dives deep into the essence of faithfulness, highlighting how our connection with God shapes this vital virtue. Drawing parallels between loyal sports fans and God's unwavering fidelity toward us, Pastor Lucas reminds us that faithfulness isn't just a trait; it encapsulates God's character, as echoed in Lamentations 3:22-23, where His unfailing love and mercy greet us each morning. He passionately encourages the church to embody this fruit amidst life's challenges, asserting that our faithfulness can illuminate paths in an unfaithful world. Whether it's through cultivating relationships, finding steadfastness within the church community, or recognizing growth in seemingly insignificant moments, he invites us to nurture this garden-like quality that flourishes over time in our walk with Jesus.

Send us a textThe Bible is very clear about God's desire for His people to be totally committed to Him.  From Old Testament admonitions, to Jesus own instructions for His followers, there can be no mistake about that.  Today's message centers around what we need to do in order to “go all the way” in our pursuit of God's purpose for our life.Joshua 5:11-6:3"Yet I still dare to Hope..." - Lamentations 3:21 PODCAST HOME: daretohopepodcast.buzzsprout.com/ EMAIL: hope@dare2hope.life FACEBOOK: Dare to Hope Ministries WEB: www.dare2hope.life

This is the fifth lesson in Dr. Camden Bucey's Reformed Academy course, Defending Our Hope: An Introduction to Christian Apologetics. What does it mean to be human? This lesson explores the doctrine of man, centered on the profound reality of being created in God's image. We discover how this divine image manifests in official, formal, and ethical dimensions, shaping our knowledge, dignity, and purpose. Through the lens of covenant theology and Reformed thought, we investigate humanity's original condition, the impact of sin, and the enduring significance of bearing God's image. This foundational understanding strengthens apologetics by illuminating the connection between believers and nonbelievers, affirming that all people exist coram Deo—in the presence of God.  02:24 The Point of Contact: The Image of God 08:47 The Image of God and Sin 19:11 Narrow and Broad Senses of the Image of God 27:20 The Image of God and Human Knowledge 35:51 Summary and Conclusion  Register for this free on-demand course on our website to track your progress, download supplemental resources, and assess your understanding through quizzes for each lesson.

Lesson Two: Jeremiah 20:9 = Jeremiah couldn't quit. God certainly inspired this message to motivate "missions." It certainly motivates me not to quit. Intro: The Old Testament prophets were missionaries to Israel and other nations. Jer. 1:10; 26:5; 44:4; Jonah 1:1-2. Jeremiah's life is a great motivation because he tried to quit serving God but couldn't. 1. He wanted to quit because he was discouraged. Jer. 20:7-8,10 • He accused God of deceiving him. Jer. 20:7a • Everyone mocked him for preaching. Jer. 20:7b-8 • His friends and family turned on him. Jer. 20:10 • He was put in a dungeon prison. Jer. 37:15-16 2. He wanted to quit the ministry but couldn't. Jer. 20:9 • Because the Word of God was in his heart. Ref. Jer. 20:9 Jeremiah was a testimony of Psalm 119:11. Note: his father was a priest. Jer.1:1 = a testimony of Prov. 22:6 • Because the word was like a fire in his bones. Ref. Jer. 20:9; Heb. 4:12 3. He knew he was called by God. Jer.1:4-9 • God spoke to him. Jer. 10:4 • God called him before he was born. Jer. 10:5 • God ordained him to be a prophet. Jer. 10:5b • God took away his excuses already. Jer. 10:6-8 • God gave him the words to say. Jer. 10:9 4. Thank God Jeremiah didn't quit. • He delivered the truth of the Lord to Israel. Jer. 29:10-11 • He prevented the nation of Israel's complete destruction. Jer. 42:15-16 • He preached about the coming Savior = Jesus. Jer. 23:5-7 • He prevented Israel from rejecting Jehovah God. Jer. 44:25; 51:5 • He became the weeping prophet. Jer. 23:9; Lam. 2:11; 3:48 Conclusion: Jeremiah gave us Lamentations 3:21-23 Praise the Lord!

There's a new Superman movie out this month—but when I heard that, my mind flew back 38 years to Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, a cinematic trainwreck of epic proportions. The plot was absurd, the budget was anemic, and Hollywood wisely took a long break from the franchise after that. But while the movie deserves all the ridicule it gets, the title stuck with me: The Quest for Peace. Because if you're a caregiver, you know exactly what that feels like. In this episode of Hope for the Caregiver, I invite my fellow caregivers to join me on that very journey—the often painful, sometimes hilarious, always sacred search for peace. Peace in the middle of sleepless nights, endless medical drama, strained relationships, and a soul stretched thin. I open up about a struggle many caregivers carry but rarely talk about: resentment. Whether it's being overlooked by family, dismissed by doctors, or just frustrated with God—or yourself—it eats away at us. Drawing from the words of C.S. Lewis, I discuss how forgiveness, anchored in God's grace, becomes a daily practice—not a feeling, and certainly not a one-time decision. I also continue my series on “30 Hymns Every Christian Should Know,” spotlighting Great Is Thy Faithfulness. Inspired by Lamentations 3, where Jeremiah finds hope in the wreckage of Jerusalem, this hymn—written by Thomas Chisholm, who lived with chronic illness—offers a powerful reminder that God's mercy meets us every morning, even when we can barely get out of bed. I play it from the “caregiver keyboard,” the one I use for Gracie, whose voice gives it a strength words alone can't capture. So, no, I'm not wearing a cape. I don't fly. But after 40 years as a caregiver, I've learned a few things about finding peace when everything around you is breaking. Join me for this honest, gritty, and grace-filled episode.

Hi guys! Welcome to my new series! James Raggi is joining us live for another deep dive conversation. James is a legend in the RPG hobby and is the publisher of LOTFP, the first great indy product of the second wave of the OSR. Here are some of James' products and sites:LotFP Rules & Magic Full Versionhttps://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/117262/lotfp-rules-magic-full-version?src=hottest_filtered&affiliate_id=205060His Website:https://www.lotfp.com/RPG/The facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/lotfp/I'm going to continue with my regular interviews with RPG Industry Professionals. These won't be the standard 15 minute surface level interviews that exist solely for someone to pimp their product. Following in the footsteps of Joe Rogan and Lex Fridman, I plan to go deep. I expect each interview to last at least 2 hours if not 3. We'll get into the guest's personal life, gaming history, and how they got into publishing RPG products. Then we will get into the ins and out of publishing, so you can learn from their experience.Ideally I'd like for these interviews to serve as a motivational video series to help encourage more people in the hobby to publish their own stuff. I plan to get into some technical details so we can demystify the experience, and so you'll see that you can also do it with a little hard work and determination.I hope you enjoy it!By Popular demand, here is the link to my new Analog Mancave Discord Server!https://discord.gg/RHxTCq3mzTHere's the link to my first Substack post!https://open.substack.com/pub/analogmancave/p/joethelawyers-analog-mancave-has?r=4ewp0k&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=trueMembers now get early access to videos now!

Psalm 137: 1-4, Lamentations 3: 19-26

Tiffany shares several passages from Proverbs about the importance of integrity & honesty, highlighting how trust is the glue that holds our relationships with God and others together.Proverbs 11:3, Proverbs 12:22, Luke 16:10–12, Genesis 18:17–19, Matthew 25:21, Psalm 101:6, Matt. 6:8, Psalm 27:10, Romans 5:8, Eph. 3:20, Lamentations 3:22, 2 Cor. 3:18

Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. — Psalm 23:4 The psalm writer, King David of Israel, provides here a lasting testimony of being comforted by the Lord. Many years after the reign of David, however, destruction came to Israel and Jerusalem. The people faced terrible losses because their kings and other leaders had wandered after the gods of other nations. They had chosen pathways other than the right ones God had set for them. Yet despite the people's calamity and being taken into exile, the prophet Jeremiah in that day made a declaration of faith and hope: “Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness” (Lamentations 3:22-23). In a way like the psalmist, Jeremiah pointed out that the people could find comfort in God's faithfulness. There is evil in the world, and there are sinful things that we do, going contrary to the guidance of the Lord our shepherd. And as we learn from the testimony of God's sheep throughout the ages, we can be comforted that the good shepherd does not abandon us in our sin and waywardness. His pursuing grace doesn't give up on us. God is faithful even when we are not. In our lives today we need to hear this message as well. We will not be consumed because God is faithful! Lord, remind us of your faithfulness in all the times of our lives. Amen.

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Doug and Emily dive into Chapter 11: Sharing the Message from Doug's book Seers See: Instruction on Seeing into the Spiritual Realm. This conversation explores what it means to be a seer or prophetic person in a world—and often, a church—that resists or misunderstands supernatural gifts.Topics Covered:Why lament is essential when sharing difficult prophetic wordsHow to deliver messages that align with God's heart, not just His wordsThe story of Agabus in Acts as a model for mature prophetic deliveryFlipping negative spiritual visions into redemptive messagesThe tension between mental illness and spiritual discernmentThe danger of using spiritual gifts for personal gainWhat David and Michal's fractured relationship teaches us about spiritual highs and rejectionMidnight encounters, spiritual deliverance, and the Fourth WatchDoug and Emily also address the harm caused by celebrity Christianity and the importance of quiet faithfulness, the grief that accompanies being misunderstood, and how to avoid becoming the kind of messenger that drives people away from God rather than drawing them in. Whether you're a seasoned seer, a curious parent, or a pastor trying to shepherd the spiritually gifted, this episode is filled with raw honesty, practical insight, and biblical wisdom.Subscribe to Seers See for more content on seeing into the spiritual realm and living faithfully with supernatural gifts.Get the book: Seers See: Instruction on Seeing into the Spiritual Realm – available now on AmazonExplore more at SeersSee.com

It's Thursday, July 10th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Pakistani court acquitted two Christian teens of false blasphemy charges A court in Pakistan acquitted two Christians of false blasphemy charges against Islam on Tuesday.  Adil Babar and Simon Nadeem, 18 and 14 years old respectively, were charged and arrested in 2023. A court advocate for the Christian young men told Morning Star News, “There's a dire need to make procedural reforms in cases involving blasphemy to protect the victims, a majority of whom are declared innocent after years of court proceedings and imprisonment.” Sadly, these kind of false blasphemy charges are weaponized against Christians in the Muslim-majority country. Pakistan is ranked eighth on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most difficult places to be a Christian.  Reformed pastors to call U.K. Parliament to repent over abortion, euthanasia laws A group of Reformed ministers are prepared to call the U.K. parliament to repent next Tuesday, July 15. Christian leaders with UK Gospel Witness plan to proclaim the Gospel and call the government to repentance. In particular, the organizers lament recent legislation on the Assisted Dying Law and New Abortion Law.  The event's Facebook page says, “It is our firm conviction that this is a time for God-fearing Christians to unite together and make a public stand and proclamation of Gospel truth in the face of such evil.” Lamentations 3:40-41 says, “Let us search out and examine our ways, and turn back to the LORD; let us lift our hearts and hands to God in Heaven.” Samaritan's Purse deploying teams to flood-ravaged Texas In the United States, Christian ministries are deploying relief teams to central Texas in the wake of devastating flooding. Authorities confirmed 119 people have died from the flash floods, and at least 150 people are missing in Kerr County. Samaritan's Purse is sending disaster relief teams to the area. Rev. Franklin Graham, President of Samaritan's Purse, wrote on Facebook, “We need to continue to surround these devastated families and communities in prayer.” You can make an on-line donation through Samaritan's Purse through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com.   Listen to the prayer for these hurting families from HUD Secretary Scott Turner during a White House Cabinet meeting on Tuesday. TURNER: “Father, we're humbled by Your grace. We're humbled by Your mercy. Lord God, we surrender to You. Jesus, You are the great Redeemer. “Lord God, we lift up the families that are mourning, that are grieving, those families that are hurting. Father God, we pray for a peace that surpasses all understanding and Lord Jesus, those that are still there, that are alive. “Father, we pray you will help us to find them Lord God and bring them back to their families. We love you. We honor you. In Jesus' name Amen.” Planned Parenthood closes Cleveland abortion mill Planned Parenthood is permanently closing one of its locations in Cleveland, Ohio. The abortion mill blamed funding cuts from the Trump administration, ending over a decade of its killing business. Cleveland Right to Life responded to the closure by “thanking God for the legislators who stood up to the most-evil organization of our time, Planned Parenthood.” China owns 265,000 acres of American farmland; Trump says, “No more!” The Trump administration announced its National Farm Security Action Plan on Tuesday. Specifically, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is banning foreign adversaries, including Chinese nationals, from buying American farmland.  An infographic from the White House shows that China already owns over 265,000 acres of U.S. farmland. Much of that land is located near U.S. military bases.  Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said, “We feed the world. We lead the world. And we'll never let foreign adversaries control our land, our labs, or our livelihoods.” Church discipline rarely practiced in Protestant churches And finally, new data from Lifeway Research shows church discipline is rarely practiced in Protestant churches. Fifty-four percent of pastors said their church has not formally disciplined a member since they became pastor or prior as far as they know. Nevertheless, about 80% of churches have policies for formal discipline.  Scott McConnell, executive director of Lifeway Research, said, “The infrequency of church discipline is not because church members aren't sinning. Church discipline typically occurs when a member is not repentant for a sin or is no longer qualified for a role because of sin.” Ephesians 5:11-13 says, “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, July 10th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

Introduction: The Book of Haggai is a book about God, about worship, about holiness. These themes take us back to the days of altars of Noah; of Abram (Abraham); of Isaac; of Jacob; and the Tabernacle of Moses (Play Video of Tabernacle). Haggai is the 37th book in the Old Testament .  Haggai is a Post-Exilic book meaning the timeframe happens after the Babylonian Captivity. God directed the Assyrians, Babylonians, & the Persians to accomplish His will!I. Let's set a timeline:1. Solomon's Temple built around 957 BC (United Monarchy)2. The Northern Kingdom (Israel) is defeated by Assyria in 722 BC3. The Southern Kingdom (Judah) is defeated by Babylon and the Temple was destroyed around 587-586 BC. The Book of Lamentations was written by Jeremiah based on what God did and what he saw (Lamentations 3:22-23)4. Zerubbabel's Temple (Book of Haggai) started in 536 BC and stopped with the foundation. 5. Restart on Zerubbabel's Temple started back in 520 BC. Finished in four months. Some were alive to see Solomon's Temple.READ HAGGAI 1 & 2 II. Some critical statement made in these 2 chapters:1. “Consider your ways” – 1:5 & 72. “That I may take pleasure” – 1:83. “Obeyed the voice of the Lord” – 1:124. “I am with you” – 1:13 & 2:45. “Be strong” – 2:4 (3 times)6. “The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former” – 2:97. “Make you like a signet ring, for I have chosen you” – 2:23 III. The Book of Haggai is connected to the Book of Ezra1. Read II Chronicles 36:22-23 2. Read Ezra 3:8-133. Read Ezra 4:1-5 (“adversaries” lied; “discouraged”; “made them afraid”; “bribed”). Fear of man paralyzes us. Fear of God frees us.4. Cyrus & Darius blessed the returning remnant (and paid for the rebuilding project!)5. Read Ezra 5:1-2 (Back on track)  IV. Haggai 1 – WHAT TIME IS IT?1. Haggai 1:3 - 2. Haggai 1:8 – 3. Haggai 1:12 4. Haggai 1:13 – 5. Haggai 1:14 –CHAPTER 2 NEXT WEEK 

It is because our God is a righteous God that He will indeed punish his people. And even though God loves them, he will demonstrate His faithfulness to His Word, to what he has promised, what the prophets have told and this is a great example that we find in the book of Lamentations, that the children of Israel, those who are dwelling in that holy city of Jerusalem, they have suffered devastation, and they have seen with great sorrow, those whom they love perish in the streets due to hunger and due to the sword of the enemy.

And even though God loves them, he will demonstrate His faithfulness to His Word, to what he has promised, what the prophets have told and this is a great example that we find in the book of Lamentations, that the children of Israel, those who are dwelling in that holy city of Jerusalem, they have suffered devastation, and they have seen with great sorrow, those whom they love perish in the streets due to hunger and due to the sword of the enemy.To donate please visit us at:https://loveisrael.org/donate/Checks may be sent to:LoveIsrael.org6355 N Courtenay ParkwayMerritt Island, FL 32953Feel free to download our MyBibleStudy App on telephonehttps://get.theapp.co/yjjqwe don't know how long we can post the teachings on YThttps://www.instagram.com/mybiblestudyofficial/ To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.lightsource.com/donate/1255/29

Lamentations 1:4 GW"The roads to Zion are deserted. No one comes to the annual festivals. No one passes through any of its gates. Its priests are groaning. Its young women are made to suffer. Zion is bitter"

This is the fourth lesson in Dr. Camden Bucey's Reformed Academy course, Defending Our Hope: An Introduction to Christian Apologetics. How can we know the God we seek to defend? In this lesson, we explore the doctrine of revelation—God's gracious self-disclosure to humanity. You will learn the crucial distinction between general revelation, seen in creation and providence, and special revelation, given through Scripture and ultimately in Jesus Christ. This lesson lays a foundation for understanding why divine revelation is necessary for knowledge, faith, and apologetics. By examining how revelation reveals God's character, will, and redemptive purposes, you will be equipped to uphold the authority of Scripture and the sufficiency of Christ in the face of skepticism and competing truth claims. 01:52 General Revelation 08:50 Special Revelation 21:51 Attributes of Revelation 29:16 The Relationship between General and Special Revelation 31:14 Jesus Christ 33:26 Summary and Conclusion Register for this free on-demand course on our website to track your progress, download supplemental resources, and assess your understanding through quizzes for each lesson.

Pastor Dan preached from Lamentations 3, highlighting how Jeremiah was crushed with grief—not only because of his own suffering, but because of the devastation he saw around him, especially among children. This message unpacked the concept of second-hand sin—the pain and consequences we often endure because of others' rebellion. Yet, even in the lowest sorrow, Jeremiah clung to hope by remembering God's faithfulness, compassion, and mercy. Pastor Dan urged us to seek the Lord wholeheartedly, repent of sin, and wait patiently for His salvation.#SecondHandSin #Lamentations3 #GodIsFaithful #MerciesNewEveryMorning #HopeInGrief #PastorDan #WaynetownBaptist #RepentAndReturn

In this powerful exploration of grief, lament, and hope, we're invited to confront the raw emotions that often accompany our faith journey. The book of Lamentations serves as our guide, showing us that even in the depths of despair, God's faithfulness endures. We're reminded that lament isn't a lack of faith, but an act of profound trust - bringing our pain directly to God. The message challenges us to embrace the paradox of hope: it's both something we have and something we're waiting for. This tension mirrors our Christian walk, where we're saved yet still longing for full redemption. As we navigate our own valleys of grief, we're encouraged to remember that God's mercies are new every morning, and that true hope often emerges from our deepest sorrows. This message invites us to be honest with God, to protest against darkness, and to find hope as an act of spiritual rebellion against despair.

Hope is more than a feeling. It is the steady anchor of a disciple's life, grounded in the promises of God and secured by the resurrection of Jesus. In this message, John Gunter explores what it means to live with a hope that sustains and strengthens, especially in times of uncertainty and pain.With passages like Hebrews 6:19, 1 Peter 1:3–6, Lamentations 3:21–24, and Romans 15:13, this sermon invites listeners to anchor their lives not in outcomes, but in the unchanging character of God.Discipleship is not sustained by sheer willpower. It is sustained by hope that holds.Scripture References: Hebrews 6:13–20, 1 Peter 1:3–6, Romans 15:13, Lamentations 3:21–24, 1 Peter 3:15

This is the third lesson in Dr. Camden Bucey's Reformed Academy course, Defending Our Hope: An Introduction to Christian Apologetics. Before we can defend the Christian faith, we must know the God we are defending. This lesson explores the heart of Christian apologetics: the doctrine of God. We explore the nature and attributes of the triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—as revealed in Scripture and expressed in the Reformed tradition. From God's simplicity and independence to his communicable and incommunicable attributes, we see how every aspect of his character undergirds our hope. Learn how the Trinity shapes our understanding of reality, strengthens our confidence in the gospel, and compels us to a bold yet humble defense of the faith in a world longing for ultimate truth. 03:10 Theology Proper: A Study of the Triune God 15:15 The Attributes of God 21:46 God's Communicable and Incommunicable Attributes 24:14 Relative Attributes 27:31 Divine Transcendence 31:46 Summary and Conclusion  Register for this free on-demand course on our website to track your progress, download supplemental resources, and assess your understanding through quizzes for each lesson.

Daily Meditation As the sun rises on the first day of summer, our hearts turn toward a season rich with beauty, warmth, and growth—both in nature and in spirit. In today’s prayerful reflection, Lynette Kittle invites us to pause with gratitude and recognize God’s faithful hand in the changing of the seasons. From plowed fields and grazing livestock to sun-drenched days and fresh green growth, summer is more than a change in weather—it’s a spiritual reminder that God keeps His promises, just as surely as He brings the warmth of summer after a long winter. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 3:1 and the promise of enduring seasons in Genesis 8:22, we are reminded that each summer day is a gift and a chance to draw nearer to God, to grow deeper roots in faith, and to praise Him for His steadfast love. ✨ Key Takeaways God is the Author of the Seasons: We can trust in His timing and purposes (Ecclesiastes 3:1, Genesis 8:22). Summer is a Spiritual Gift: A season of abundance, growth, and visible fruit in both nature and our spiritual lives. God’s Faithfulness Never Fails: Just as the sun rises, His mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22–23). We are called to celebrate, worship, and notice God's handiwork in every bloom, breeze, and sunbeam.
