Betrayal leaves an ugly scar. Those of you who've been in a relationship where you've felt the cutting sting of a lover turning their back on you, probably know the lasting affects that sometimes taint our expectations of those around us. We almost come to expect more of the same (shame on us).

Sometimes it's good to be reminded of those things that are true and faithful. I came across this little clip and had to smile.

Feeling lonely, unloved, sad or just "unspecial?"

Take a minute to look at your hands. Have you ever wondered why your fingers don't grow eyelashes? When you stop to realize that there are 50,000,000,000 cells in your body that hold 20,000 genes on strands of DNA 6 feet long coiled into the nucleus of each cell, and that each cell has it's own codes so that it knows just what to look like (which is why you can scratch an itch instead of giving it a butterfly kiss).... WOW!

Unless you think you just happened and the world is an accident, it's impossible not to realize just how special you are!

Psalm 139:14

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

Did you know that when you get really close to someone you can see your reflection in their eyes?

When you look into the heart of a love ones eyes, you see your reflection staring right back at you. I can't help but think of the Scripture that tells us we are the apple of God's eye (Deut. 22:8). There have been a lot of instances in my life when I wondered what I looked like through God's eyes, but just recently I've discovered my reflection in the deepths of His all-seeing eyes in a brand new way.

I was facing a tough situation financially. My children's father is between jobs and I was counting the weeks when no child support checks would be coming my way. For a single mom needing to pay bills, buy boots, heat, and all that jazz it's a big deal. So one night in prayer I was feeling especially close to God and began having one of those heart-to-heart chats. I told him all about it. If you're thinking it was one of those sappy sweet "I trust you to take care all me needs" conversations think again. I was tired, frustrated and felt like it was God's turn to do the worrying. I guess I was feeling a bit neglected, alone, and hungering for a protector.

In the midst of it all He spoke to me in a quiet voice, "Don't worry. I'm going to take care of it for you." I was excited, but before long I began looking ahead at everything I needed to get through the coming months. I got upset, and literally heard that voice again say, "I'm going to take care of it." This went on for weeks. I'd start worrying, and I'd hear that quiet voice chiding me with a reminder, "I'm going to take care of it."

On a Friday, I deposited my last child support check. By Sunday night, God had supplied the entire amount of child support I was expecting to miss. Of course I was thankful!!!! As I was lying in bed a week later and thanking God for his providence, he spoke again in that quiet voice and said, "I'm not done."

Blessing after blessing has been flowing my way. I'm not sure just what else God has in store for me! I am just marveling at His goodness, and am ever so thankful to know the I am the apple of His eye.

I'm not going to waste a lot of time talking about this. There are so many lessons to be learned from God's creatures. Take a look and see what happens when The Buffalos meet The Lions.
