Hibiscus on a hedge.
The Heavens DO declare Your Glory, God. And as the full moon (the Wolf Moon) last night was 14% wider and 30% brighter than usual — it was doing its part to show forth Your Glory. Not that I saw it — as the rain started soon after it was due to rise.
But, Your Glory is also found in the ordinary things around us. Like flowers — even those that only last for a day.
Jesus said it well. “Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.”
You lavish care on the flowers — even the fish (here in Hawaii) are arrayed in splendor. Consider the Humuhumunukunukuapua’a — the cross-striped lagoon trigger fish — with the lavender lips. Such attention to DETAIL, God! What a glorious world we inhabit.

It only takes a minute — less really — to stop and SEE — or HEAR — or TOUCH. How good it is to come to a FULL STOP and consider that YOU are seeing me — seeing each of us. Attending to us, even more (well, as much as?) You attend to the flower.
Oh! Oh, that I might marvel at that fact — embrace it — live based upon it. I am; we are; LOVED and SEEN . . . and HEARD. Not “heard” as in being given everything we ask for . . . that’s a poor kind of love. Heard, as in, Paid Attention To. Valued. Called to GROW in a million different ways. Called to get up and try again! Called to value and see and hear — those around us. Thank YOU!
