It's a Small World After All



There's a whole tiny little world going on out there we're not even
aware of in our big busyness.
Somehow it makes me feel more a part of the world around me when I take the time to peer down into things to see this small world. I wonder how God feels when he looks down at us. Does he want us to stop and look around at all the amazing things he's created for us to enjoy? Does it make him angry when we sit for hours staring at a black or silver box with images blasting by every nanosecond?

Does he want to stomp his feet to get our attention? Or does he just sit back and patiently wait for us to realize he's here - in all the big stuff and especially in all the small stuff.

And have I ever mentioned I'm becoming my father?

Thanks, Candy, for your gleaming morsels of inspiration. I always enjoy visiting your blog and thoughts, even if I don't often comment.

Warm thoughts and a few tears of homesickness as I watched your video of Bev's graduation party. Wish so badly I could have been there! Do Jim and Susan never change? It meant a lot to get to see all the joy you gave Bev, and all the joy she continues to bring to others.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

(PS: I love your Blondie face-lift!)

"...there is a whole wide world going on out there..." I loved that line! Yes, there is on many layers and depth, small and glorious! Thank you for showing us the small wonders!
