Orchid Show

Here are a few photos from our visit this month to the Orchid Show...

Hunt for the White ones

This is one we found in Olney, Illinois several weeks ago:



This one we found in Kenton, Tennessee last week.

This is the result when you ask a certain 12 year old boy to snap a photo. I kinda like it! This is me and my dear hubby.

We've had some beautiful sunsets this month. It was hard to pick a favorite.

Optimum maximum

(Thomas Brooks, "The Unsearchable Riches of Christ")

Christians serve a wonderful Master.
They serve Him who is . . .
all ear to hear them,
all hand to uphold them,
all power to protect them,
all wisdom to direct them,
all goodness to relieve them,
all mercy to pardon them.

They serve that God who is optimum maximum
—the best and greatest. God has within Himself
all the good of angels, men, and universal nature.
God has . . .
all dignity,
all glory,
all riches,
all treasure,
all pleasure,
all delight,
all joy,
all beatitudes.

God is . . .
goodness,
beauty,
power,
wisdom,
justice,
mercy, and
love itself!

God is one infinite perfection in Himself!

"He has all—who has the Haver of all." Αugustine
