Thank Goodness

Posted on by Marla

Could you imagine if cows made buttermilk?
And bunny’s laid Easter eggs, of milk chocolate and caramel silk?
What if turtles could fly and horses could talk
They’d probably say, sir you can walk…
What if elephants danced and sloths pranced…
Have you ever thought about that circumstance?
Being under it…
What if rain didn’t fall?
What if trees weren’t tall?
What would we call everything then?
Why, just, think about this
When you reminisce
If God had not created our world
All His beauty, and wonder, we’d have missed…
God, we’re in your hands, thank goodness!

This poem was inspired by a phone conversation I had with my 90-year-old dad this morning. He said when he was four years old he asked his grandmother which of their cows made buttermilk. She answered in her southern drawl, “Lawd, cows don’t make buttermilk!
Genesis 1:31 The Message (MSG) God looked over everything he had made; it was so good, so very good!

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
