stop and look

We should do this every day, but especially in the spring, we must stop and look. Stop and look at the daffodils blooming. 6,000 of them on the north bank of the pond at church. Get out and walk among them. Take 5 minutes to do this. It will be better than the sermon. Stop and count the tulips that are getting ready to take their turn. Check out the pear trees. They are preparing for their annual declaration of the glory of God.

Do not walk by this stuff. Go look at the iris' and see how they are doing. Clip off the dead mum parts from last year and check out the new growth.

Do not pass by these miracles. Stop. Check it out. See the wonder, see the beauty, see the good.

How does God do this stuff? 2 cells join to start a human being. They divide and divide. One cell says, "hey, I want to be finger nails." Another cell says, "hey, I want to be a kidney." Another wants to be an eye. Another a backbone. How does God do this? Sure we know about DNA, but we still don't know why any of it does what it is supposed to do.

God has placed eternity in the hearts of men and women so that they might revere and honor him. Ecclesiastes 3:11-14

Don't pass by the miracles of today.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
