When I get a chance to go outside with my grands, they'll often hear me say,
"Use your looking eyes."
Of course, the teacher part of me can't resist adding even more instruction--
"Listen! Did you hear that?"
"Touch this," or
"Smell these..."
You know--just your everyday kind of interacting with nature.
But for me, the visual trumps all the other senses.
Small wonders in my own backyard remind me of who I am in
the grand scheme of life. Ordinary sights like this datura bloom point the way
to the One who longs to welcome us home.
My dear husband gifted me a macro lens for my recent birthday.
Now I can get an even closer view of nature's small miracles,
markers on the path of life.
