Something Better Than Magic


"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1:1
Magic? Of course not!
And if we read on, we learn that God gathered the water in one place and the land in another. Further, we read that God separated night from day, and marked seasons into days and years. Later, there were living creatures, and, then, God created man in his own image.
Magic?
Coincidence?
I think not.

Our grandsons visited recently. We fished, we swam, they rode a 4-wheeler through the woods, we stayed overnight in a cabin, and more.
One day, we hiked and they discovered a single leaf dancing in the breeze while attached to a spider web. The spider strand was not visible.
Magic?
Although it appeared to be so....
It was simply a part of an awesome creation that we take for granted each day.
They gathered a variety of woodland flowers and gave them to me--delighting in the discovery and color and variety. I put them in my pocket, and


we called them "pocket flowers."
Maybe, we need to see the world through the eyes of our children. And, then, give praise to an Almighty Loving God who created everything from the great expanse above to the seas with their mystery, to a dancing leaf, to a miniature wild flower, to the sweet children we are blessed to have in our lives.

Talk about awesome....
