Ever since my wife and I came back from
our hiking trip, our son has been obsessed with finding flowers and pointing
them out. I think this is pretty
cool. I love seeing him appreciate all
kinds of beauty in the world. However, I
have to admit that I only taught him about flowers to get him out of my hair while
I was setting up camp. Each night Kira
and I had a ton of chores to do, and honestly, one year old babies can kind of
get in the way. Our child’s favorite
hobby was throwing handfuls of dirt into our tent, cooking pot, or his own
mouth… Although we all wound up eating our fair share of dirt, we needed a
distraction to slow him down a little bit.

I think Kira and I were both kind of
astounded by how interested he was in searching for flowers! He couldn’t wait to find the next one. He frequently noticed flowers that we didn’t,
and he took note of flowers that had already died. It didn’t matter what shape they were in; he
was just excited to notice the beauty in creation!
I think there are so many aspects of
life that we all fail to take notice of.
We can spend our lives searching the internet for something worthy of our
attention. I think Christ teaches us
that there is something incredible in our world. Let’s take time to appreciate God’s love,
grace, and peace. Let’s appreciate the
gifts we have, and let’s share them with the enthusiasm of a child!
Blessings!
