What, in All This World of Wonder

It's the time of year we need to take a closer look at the toys and reinvent them a bit

so we took everyone we could find on a trip to the farm and the zoo!

Today's chuckle: as I ran my fingers through Little Girl's curls 

I told her how lucky she is to have such beautiful curls! 

she sighed and replied, 'they're going gray'... 😂

 Life gives all of us seasons where we sometimes have 

to take a closer look at what we see every day to refurbish our thankfulness and wonder,

and there is nothing like loss to remind us of what we have!

What in all this world of wonder

 will we recognize today

Dawn delights us with pink thunder

soon by blue skies breathed away

What will spawn a sudden solace

as we look with eyes and heart

Where nature’s four-season showcase

is like a book of fine art

What will stir our souls with gladness

in the middle of love’s fuss

What in all this world of madness

will still thrill and humble us

What will wake us to the onus

of momentous moment-sum

While we are still in the process

of the life they will become

What will render longing speechless

as we witness God first-hand

Where the spender of days reaches

to the Lender in command

What will make us far more grateful

in a world of hate and greed

Where a multitude of people

prove we are creatures of need

God, without hearts of thanksgiving

nothing else will be enough

We will miss the joy of living

in the fullness of Your love

Where, in all this world of beauty

as far as the eye can see

We are surely to be pitied

if we miss Your Majesty

He alone does great wonders. His loving devotion endures forever.
