Awaken Our Wonder

"There is no end to the things
that can awaken our wonder,
from the majesty of the night sky


to the smell of lilacs in the spring
(or gardenias in the summer)


to the turning of the leaves in the fall.




And it is all right here,
a feast of epiphanies
and astonishments
in the daily round
of our spiritual lives."
(Spirituality and Practice: Spiritual Practice Homepage: Wonder)

Oh, God, awaken our wonder!

Thank You, God, for these wonders of Your love:
289. an old sweater that is just right for a new skirt
290. restocking the groceries and supplies
291. the pure sweetness of a "cutie"
292. realizing I already have a notebook for the Romans Project
293. pretty, positive Emily
294. sitting with Miss Mary at the funeral
295. Glenn getting a cup of cold water for Victor too
296. the gentle power of Victor's "Hymn of Promise"
297. darling granddaughters speaking about their granddaddy
298. a fine young man honoring a mentor
299. David's loving graciousness
300. the commanding majesty of Scripture known and spoken forth
301. truth unleashed
302. Glenn's humble, healing "Amazing Grace"
303. funny Fay chasing little lizard while perched safely atop her chair
304. Victor treating Joseph and good friend from Bridges to dinner at Elements

With gratitude,
Sally
