The Wonder Project Day 2: Cheer

It has been a tough day, I’ll admit. Sometimes sadness just chases me down. Truthfully, this is one of the reasons I started this project. I know the battles that I face on a daily basis, and I need so very much to find God and hear his voice. Upon waking today, because of this very project, I asked him, “Will you show me the wonder? Open my eyes to you?” I don’t want to strive, but I do want to seek. I want to walk, dance with my eyes wide open. I want to see God in every place he can be found. Like the blind man who called after the Lord on the road in desperation, I also want to see. I want to see!

I know he is here. I have seen him in blades of grass and towering trees. He has taken my breath away with the last light of day, and given me the giggles when he catches me by surprise. I laugh at his goodness.

Today was no different. There, in the grocery store, sitting meekly next to the green grapes were these brilliant red currants. I gathered them up and gazed at the delicate globes. So beautiful! I have never seen red currants before. On a whim I placed them in my cart and finished my shopping. I forgot all about them until I was unpacking my groceries. I held them up in the afternoon light, and there it was. The wonder. I was in awe of the detailed artistry of my Father. Each tiny currant was so perfect. If I were not seeking in this way, I may have dismissed this feeling. I may have missed a gift from God. Seemingly so insignificant and yet so amazing!

I take so much for granted. Not today. In my quest for sight, for the ability to see the wonder, I stopped right there and photographed their sweetness. These lovely currants were a love note from God. ” Don’t give up! I am here, and I love you.” he says to me through their brilliance and beauty.

Do you see it too?

Psalm 40:5 ~”Many, Lord my God, are the wonders you have done, the things you planned for us. None can compare with you; were I to speak and tell of your deeds, they would be too many to declare.”
