Jeremiah 1:6, “Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I cannot speak: for I [am] a child.” One of the great lessons that the Catskills have been teaching me is just how small and insignificant I am in light of this great beauty of majesty of God’s creation. I wonder if He could ever use
Malachi 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: Malachi 4:6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a
