I’m very easily excited {but I’m sure you haven’t noticed that yet}.
The smallest things can delight my heart. And to me, they’re not so small.
Like when God painted a breath-taking heart in the sky right after my 3 year old whispered “I’m so happy Jesus lives in my heart” {unprompted} from the back seat of the car…
{isn’t that just crazy gorgeous?}
Like the fact that garlic grows curly for a while before it straightens up and forms a bulb.
And like the fact that crusty crabs from the bottom of the ocean that wash up daily, get devoured by the seagulls and get trampled on my unnoticing feet…
could be so phenomenally beautiful.
{pay no attention to unmanicured, dirty nail}
I don’t know about you, but these seemingly trivial things simply point to one thing.
How deeply, thoroughly, and outrageously well we are loved by our Creator.
Think about it for a minute.
He could have chosen to paint this world in shades of gray.
But he chose vivid color instead.
He could have made one type of flower…one species of animal…one form of boring, tasteless nourishment for our bodies {think sludge through a straw}.
But no.
We get to enjoy a plethora of colors, shapes, sizes, a myriad of scents, flavors, and textures.
Why? Because he loves us with a radical, passionate, extravagant love. And because he created us to appreciated beautiful things.
Garlic. Clouds. Crabs.
Yup…they spell L-O-V-E to me.
