Eiffel Tower
Good Morning, God. I can still remember how surprised I was by the Eiffel Tower. I was so familiar with the image that I discounted it as “touristy.” But as I approached it I was blown away by its size. I didn’t have the scale right!
I suspect that is one of the things we have “wrong” in our “understanding” of YOU. Our minds just can’t do the order of magnitude adjustments needed — yes, I am overlooking the qualitative surprises as beyond contemplation. Just the SIZE question staggering. Kit and I were touring Duke University when I happened upon the photo taken from the Hubble Space Craft of what I thought at first were stars. But, as I peered at it — I could see that the little dots of light were GALAXIES. Oh my. Moments like that plunge me into a state of AWE.

God, with AWE comes the thought that maybe YOU are TOO BIG to CARE! But, I HEAR — TOO BIG NOT TO CARE!
Even so I sense that CARE is too SMALL a word for what You do. For it feels to me as if You WANT us to invite You IN — to extend, balance and renew us. Those words are close but there is so much MORE. We are being invited to “TAKE PART” in LIFE. Ah my . . . AN ABUNDANT LIFE . . . in more ways than we can imagine.
Story teller,
A Moment with God
