Have you ever seen a world in a grain of sand, or Heaven in a wildflower?
Today over lunch, my supervisor and the exec director at my agency read a devotion about noticing Heaven in the world around us. It was a good reminder about perspective and taking the time to notice. God's at work all around us, we just forget to open our eyes. Atleast I do. It's amazing, really, how often I get the answer I'm looking for or the reassurance I need when I stop and ask, but then five minutes late I'm back at the worry game.
I was talkin' to Jesus on the drive home tonight - asking questions that probably don't have answers, when I noticed a rainbow. Cliche, yes, but beautiful. A reminder of God's covenant with earth.
"Earth's crammed with Heaven, and every common bush afire with God. But only he who sees takes off his shoes. The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries." - Elizabeth Browning
