September 17, 2018 – Sugar And Spice… Among Other Things

This is one of the poems I had chanced upon in my social network page. The words remind of His Almighty power and Grace. The glory of the universe have perplexed mankind for centuries. Man tries to break it down to the tunes of science, astrophysics, particle physics and so forth. Yet the reality is that sometimes even science reaches a quandary of exact specifications of how the universe was created and the stars were possible.

Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory in the heavens. Psalms 8:1, New International Version

Learning from the universe especially the stars is an exhausting task. Each time I gaze upon the sky, there are new patterns to be found; man calls them constellations – the way we perceive it. In the darkness or the blaring sunlight; through the storms and through the wind and rain; the stars thrive declaring the glory of the Lord by their very existence.

“Star far in the window
Through the thickness of the space in a hurry.
Hence it seems to me a crumb,
But how it burns, but how it burns !!

She does not care about the whim of the weather,
Silent and oppressive gloom.
It burns centuries and years:
God Himself has defined it so …

And I would like in the lot
that God entrusted me,
To do my work properly, So that God could boast of me!

And as the night star
shine Delivers its distant light,
So my fragrance
Let him leave a good trace!

Ermolova S.

³When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, ⁴what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? ⁵You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor.

It’s Monday morning and here, I am stuck in a toddler war between the boring old oatmeal and the newer version of “Kellogg’s Chocos”. To quote Robert Orben “Remember the days when you let your child have some chocolate if he finished his cereal? Now, chocolate is one of the cereals.”
Never try reasoning health benefits with a two year old !! Everything except the word chocolate falls on deaf ears. So the alternative was to scour the net and spruce up the good old fashioned oatmeal. At the end, a little twist of the photos below with a dash of raisins, a handful of nuts, sliced apple chunks and berries laced with honey, I ended up with a happy two year old crunching his oatmeal for the day.
