"You (God) maintain 'my lot.' So it is as though a hand gathers up the minutes of [each] new day, before ever it begins, as one might gather up a handful of pearls ... and all that the day is going to mean is upheld from minute to minute." (Amy Carmichael)
What a wonderful thought to think of each morning as I wake -- God is gathering up the pearls of my day, and holding them in His hand. I rather like the minutes of a day described as "pearls," rather than, for example, nails. It envisions a loveliness to the moments of our day, even if they may be tough like nails sometimes.

ReplyDeleteIsn't it great to keep a positive attitude toward life? I love to think that God is gathering up the pearls of my day (beautiful picture)---rather than NAILS... Yipes!!!!

I share your sentiments. Pearls are precious, just like the minutes of our day. Maybe I'll just wear mine tomorrow as a reminder!!
