Jewels From Heaven I took a walk down a woodland trail, without really expecting anything new. A rustling in the leaves made me pause, and wonder what was hidden from view. I kneeled down and spotted a tiny, white flower, so perfectly formed to bloom for just an hour. Thank you, Lord, for showing it to me alone, such a secret I would never have known. God sends jewels from heaven, when I stop long enough to see. Rare and precious treasures, to show how much He loves me. Once, I ran to the edge of some trees, with a heavy burden in my heart. The scent of a warm, summer rain, wafted by on a gentle breeze. A brilliant, red cardinal came to call, and sang a cheerful song just for me; and to think, I could have missed it all. God send jewels from heaven, when I stop long enough to see. Rare and precious treasures, to show how much He loves me. I stepped outside late one night, for just a moment of peace and quiet. The wind softly whispered to me. The black, velvet sky held a crescent moon, and a million silver stars gave their light. I threw up my hands and praised you, Lord, for this glimpse of beauty I might have ignored. God send jewels from heaven, when I stop long enough to see. Rare and precious treasures, to show how much He loves me. ~Gina Hatchell
