What's that about?
Of course I'm also writing from the comfort of my four walls without having to trudge out in the stuff to get somewhere so I'm aware that this all comes into play. But even midst the absolute craziness of my own day, I purposefully decided to take a moment and just bask in this beauty.
It IS beautiful. It falls, it lingers, it dances. It doesn't just drop to the ground. There's some swagger to it and it's all part of the design. It's a simple existence, but I'm still so captured by it. Similar to the moments my littlest one experiences something for the first time and his big, beautiful, brown eyes grown in amazement {yes, they actually get bigger!} His innocence and sheer wonder brings delight to my own.
The book of Acts in the Bible talks about the community being filled with awe at signs and miracles. "Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs…" Acts 2:43
"The way of reason seeks to eliminate mystery and bring the world under our control. The way of wonder accepts the mysteries of life and responds with something that is familiar to children but forgotten by most adults: Awe." - David Benner
See, we sometimes miss the mysteries in this life but when I catch them, it is in these moments that I am full. Full of awe, and I don't just stop there. I love it. I'm drawn to it and drawn to the Creator. I wonder, does that bring Him delight too?
I wish I could just go out and join the dance.
