Have You Lost Your Wonder?

Have you lost your Wonder?  Ask the Lord to go for a walk with you. Let Him point out those expressions of His Creation of which you're daily unaware. Converse with Him about what you're seeing. You'll begin to delight in those things you've missed, hear birdsong you've ignored, rejoice in the canvas of sky stretching before you, changing by the second...some to take your breath away. Thank Him for the beauty and pure fun He's placed on the earth. Notice the variety of flowers and diversity of animals He designed. Stop and watch a common one, like a squirrel. Suddenly he won't seem so 'common' anymore. Listen to the rising crescendo and decrescendo of the bird choir at the dawn. Suddenly all creation is alive with His Presence, His signature written with bold hand across the sky. "I am here!  I love you! I created all this for you to enjoy. Take time to notice and appreciate My gifts to you.  Enjoy it in My company. Walk with Me...and then be still and know...."

Did you learn this as a child...when your wonder was still alive?

"All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small
All things wise and wonderful
The Lord God made them all

Each little flower that opens
Each little bird that sings
He made their glowing colors
He made their tiny wings...

He gave us eyes to see them, and lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty, Who hath made all things well..."
    --Cecil Frances Alexander, 1848
