The Gift Of Awe

The Father of lights has dressed and visited the intricacies of nature in colors and sounds that speak of His undying love.

For those who pause long enough to see their order and form, or hear the humming of the wings as the noble geese declare their way across the miles in migrations flight, there is awe.

For the soothing sounds of the tumbling brook on its joyous journey to the sea, there is awe. 

For the mosaic of color swaying in the cool breeze from the hilltop, as the wildflower waves to those transfixed at its beauty, there is awe. 

For the jeweled dance of twinkling lights in the midnight sky, there is awe...and a great silence. 

And yet, all creation shouts, clearly, to hearts open to its call.

If we focus on life's grand potential that is woven into the fabric of all of God's handiwork, then we instinctively recognize the glorious possibilities that lay before us rather than the limitations that bring about a stagnate disillusionment. 

Gandhi once wrote, "There is more to life than increasing its speed."

How powerful is a moment that is met with purpose!

Determine to take a pause for that powerful moment each day to look, to listen, and to breathe in the sweet fragrance that this life still affords us. Relish the gift of awe!
