It is so neat that you bring this up...Teresa, Gosh! It is so neat that you bring this up at just this time. I have gotten myself in the middle of a good book, called The Shattered Lantern..well one could think..yuck..by the sound of the title, but so far, the main point is that in our time..so many..most all people do not .. I repeat, do not know how to "CONTEMPLATE." We merely run here, run there, hurry to this, check out that, and we do not SEE anything...we do not ENJOY anything AS WE COULD IF WE'D ONLY CONTEMPLATE MORE! This is just what you are talking about here.<br />I gave Daddy an example just this morning. Take giving flowers..one thing I have noticed, is that when, say, Thomas gives Crista flowers, she either sorta lays them aside, or says.."Oh! How sweet" and lays them aside ..sometimes putting them in water..sometimes all but leaving them for someone else to enjoy..odd..she doesn't look at them but as a quick glance and she doesn't even take a smell hardly...she misses it all really...you know? Now, I'm just using that as an example..thinking she doesn't even REALIZE because this is how everybody acts these days about almost everything! Yes, no wonder the author mentions that some think of God as dead...no wonder, when we blink our eyes and walk right past so much so very much. Not just not look, but not daydream, smell, touch. Anyway, thanks for the post..I offer the encouragement that we all might contemplate and make a decision to do so with even very little things..life will be so much more awesome and God will be alive again in a great way! :)Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16435648614640602623noreply@blogger.com
