Thankful Heart: Day 7

Oh God, how great is Thy handiwork

Of nature's mighty works on display,

For miles of breathtaking beauty,

No pen of man could portray.

Such splendor is given to Thy landscapes,

To places both high and low,

So that great or small might behold it,

We know that our Lord planned it so.

I thank God for eyes to behold such splendor

And for a heart attuned to His own,

So I can appreciate the wonders of autumn

Long after it has come and gone.

I thank You, God, for each season

Whichever it may be,

For I know there is beauty to be found

If only our eyes will see.

Let me not take for granted this great universe

You've given for us to enjoy and share,

We know from Your Word, eye has not seen or ear heard

The joys You've prepared for us there.

~Thelma Grace Ide

"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge." Psalm 19:1-2

"No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him." 1 Corinthians 2:9

It's about overcoming challenges in life. It is based on the book "The Legend of Mickey Tussler" (a true story). It's directed by William Dear, the director of "Angels In the Outfield." It stars Dean Cain who plays Arthur Murphy, a baseball coach and Luke Schroder who plays Mickey, the main character. Excellent performances! My family and I enjoyed this movie. It spoke to my heart deeply because one of my kids has symptoms that are similar to Asperger's Syndrome but the doctors diagnosed him with anxiety disorder, instead. My son is very athletic and great with numbers like Mickey. He is also sensitive to noise and crowds like Mickey. When Coach Murphy sees Mickey (a farmer boy) throw apples at a bucket for his pigs, he knows that he has just fo...
