Fresh Eyes

Two of our grandkids are visiting for a long weekend.  There is nothing like having two and three year olds in the house to put laughter in the hallways.

Early this morning, I was holding our two year old grandson.  We were looking out the back door, standing watch over the backyard, on the look out for squirrels, rabbits, and birds.

After several minutes, I declared, "There's nothing out there."

And Howie looked outward and waved his arm, "SKY!!!"  he exclaimed.

Oh, the blessings of God we miss, the biggest ones of all, because we are not even looking for them.

O LORD, our LORD,
how majestic is Your name in all the earth!
You whose glory above the heavens
is chanted by the mouths of babes and infants.
