It was only an hour ago that I returned from a beautiful hike near Wallowa Lake.  I’ve never been to this part of Oregon before but it is truly magnificent!

Whenever I am out and about I always ask the Lord to reveal His deeper truths by the things I see and experience each week.  God is always faithful to provide me with the insights I have asked Him for, today was no exception! As my husband, Greg and I were hiking I saw all kinds of different terrain~ trees, moss, open areas, and something that caught my eye; masses of granite.  Lots of hillsides of broken pieces of granite.  It was truly ominous!

As I was passing by all these Granite slides God spoke to my heart and said, “Picture each stone in the slide as a person.  Some are big, some are small, some broken, some seemingly perfect, while others are simply odd shapes, some even have moss on them! Yet I love them all individually.”  Now look again at the mass of stones in the picture; you and I are one of them!  Our Heavenly Father knows and loves us individually! Not as a mass, but as one “rock” at a time!  I love His word picture to my heart!

“What is the price of two sparrows—one copper coin^? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it.  And the very hairs on your head are all numbered.”   Matt. 10:29-30

Yep~ He spoke to my heart and said He loves us, knows us, and remains mindful of us~~ Individually and always! 🙂

This is a reason to rejoice today!!
