compliment

I received a compliment from my friend Steve the other day.  He said, thank you for "making the ordinary, wonderful."

Isn't this the trick in life that helps us to see the good?

We don't just see a seagull, we see amazing birds.
We don't just see a flower, we see a miracle.
We don't just see an annoying person, we see a child of God.
We don't just wake up and drudge through the day, we wake to the day with joy, as if resurrected from the dead.
We are not just alive, we are here to LIVE! L.I.V.E. LIVE!

Those things that seem ordinary and commonplace are indeed filled with the miraculous.  We forget this to our peril.  We remember this and find true joy.

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