    The LORD is faithful to all His promises

    and loving toward all He has made

    You open your hand and satisfy

    the desires of every living thing.

    The LORD is righteous in all His ways

    and loving toward all He has made.

    Psalm 114:13-17 NIV

    Those Fortunate Frogs

    IIIIhave a few friends

    who are fortunate indeed,

    for God gives to them

    everything that they need.

    They are the small spotted frogswho hide in the weeds,

    and the little green ones

    who swim through the reeds.

    There are fat brown ones

    that hop through the mud,

    and bul lf rogs that catch

    the late evening bugs,

    11/22

    fast ones that gl ide through

    the swamps and the bogs,

    and strong ones that jump

    over wet s l ippery logs.

    God loves al l these frogs,

    whether spot ted or green,

    for He gives them fresh water

    and cool wet weeds.

    He gives them gold cat tai ls ,

    ta l l green reeds,

    juicy bugs, squishy mud,

    and cool shady trees.

    I think they must be

    the Creator s f r iends

    for He gives them the insects

    that r ide on the wind,

    and sunshine to warm

    their wet mossy logs.

    God real ly must love

    these for tunate f rogs!

    As I s i t in the sun

    and gaze up at the sky,

    watching white clouds

    sl ip slowly by,

    I feel the sof t grass

    t ickl ing my toes

    and the scent of f lowers

    t ickl ing my nose.

    I dip my hand

    in the clear cool s t ream,

    and feel the brush

    of the warm summer breeze,

    and suddenly I think,

    how for tunate to be

    a creature God loves.. .
