There is a song by Steven Curtis Chapman that says:
I can see the fingerprints of God
When I look at you
I can see the fingerprints of God
And I know its true
You're a masterpiece
That all creation quietly applauds
And you're covered with the fingerprints of God
So look around you and see where YOU can see God's fingerprints. Is it in nature? Kids? Animals? Where do you see them?
Kids, Milk glass hobnail vases, vintage glass milk jug, and yes, a bright and sunny yellow tablecloth.
HHHmmmm, why do these things remind me of God? God has entrusted to me the upbringing and care of these AWESOME children! I'm FAAAARRRRR from being a perfect parent, but hopefully, when they get older, they'll understand that I did my best to make sure they had a close and personal relationship with their Savior!
Ok, I know, what in the world do the other things have to do with Fingerprint Friday? I guess it's just the beautiful simplicity of things from yester-year. God delights in the simple things, so why shouldn't we? And, who can't look at a cheerful yellow tablecloth and just smile? It makes me think of God's warm, tender arms stretching out to His children. We are so lucky to have a God of LOVE!!!
All great Fingerprints! To me, the kitchen table is the center of family life - where we get warm, nourishing meals AND warm, nourishing love from our parents.
