Usually, my days are fairly predictable…
Unless I listen to God’s small still voice, I miss the main things.
Stubborn habits keep me from seeing beauty and truth.
Until I pause and remember my Creator, the day feels ordinary.
All around is evidence of His wisdom and love!
Look at the sky, a lizard, the smile on a small child’s face,
Let the extraordinary details seep into my mind and heart.
You, O Lord, make every moment matter.
Ultimately, I have a choice. Lord, give us eyes to see the wonder all around. Each day is full of Your glory for all of us to behold.
I love this. we need to pause and see the wonder around us.
Stop and smell the rose-y bush
(but watch out for the thorns).
Slap the big bull on the tush,
then ’round will swing his horns.
Go dance upon the rooftop,
and on the chimney, pirouette,
and do not even think to stop
’till loss of gravity’s bet.
Wear a clown’s red nose to work,
to pull the boss’s leg,
and consider that it’s quite the perq
that the poor dear has to beg
that you would please go back to dull,
and not be unpredictable.
Amen! What a great reminder to pause and look around and let God’s creation speak His words. Blessings!
