The Writing's on The Wall

My husband, Mike, is quite the handyman.  I did not know this when I married him; it's just one more thing he does and does very well.  We bought our house in 1993 and it was a DUMP!!  We have completely remodeled it.  Everything we changed, with the exception of finishing the dry wall and laying carpet,  Mike did himself.  Our house is really nice (if I do say so myself) and everywhere I look, there is evidence of what a great handyman/carpenter/all-around-do-it-yourself guy I married.  But, as much as I love finishing a project, the project itself is not my favorite part.  My favorite part is what happens after the project is completed.  Mike takes his paint brush and writes me love notes--on the wall leading to the basement and on the garage wall.  He doesn't have to--I know he loves me.  But he does and it's so sweet.  It's a great reminder when I'm going downstairs to do laundry or jumping in the van to run an errand--my husband loves me.  He took extra time to make sure I know.

God is quite the handyman as well.  He gives us air to breathe, food to eat and clothes to wear. 
That would be quite enough.    But not for God.  He goes the extra mile and writes his love everywhere we can see it. "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."
Everything is so beautiful and new this time of year; I have really appreciated the beautiful colors this spring more than any other.  God could have made everything gray; we wouldn't have known the difference.  But He made all the colors of the world so vibrant and pleasing.  He did it because He loves us.  In case we forget, all we have to do is look around.  What a great reminder when we are heading to work, to run errands or to just sit and relax--God loves us.  He has written a reminder of His love everywhere!  But my favorite thing that God has ever written was not a reminder for us, but a reminder to Himself---"I will not forget you!  See, I have engraved you on the palms of My hands!"
