Explored each thing as though for the first time...
Peered intently into the depths of the sand...
Looked not just with eyes, but also with heart...
And felt everything as though with a baby's hand?
How much more would we see, would we love, if we opened our eyes wide like hers?
Or if once in a while we would just look down, would we love where we are in the world?

Sometimes, I just know I'm being tapped on the shoulder. I believe that God loves me enough to talk just to me from time to time. Slow down, he says, and look at all that I have made. Soak in the beauty. Remember that I created everything, and that I proclaimed it all to be good.
Humankind was created for His pleasure and delight. But what wonders are around us that He created for our delight?

Find your childlike faith. Look with the eyes of your heart, and see that He makes all things new.

Such a beautiful truth. We would definitely live at a slower pace if we would truly become like little children. I was reading lately that our disinterest in the natural world, as the human race in general is becoming more and more, is directly related to disinterest in the One who created it. It makes perfect sense...how can you glorify Him if you never get out and soak in His creation?
Thanks for your participation, even when I'm a slacker!
And I can't believe I forgot to mention those fabulous cheeks! Your bug is just begging to be zerberted...She is beautiful...
