Day One: Attention to Detail

          Have you ever just stopped everything that you were doing, took a step back and looked at everything?  I mean EVERYTHING, in detail.  You see, you don’t have to think about breathing or seeing or need to activate any of our senses to use them.  God created us with those little details.  Now what about everything else that He created?  Have you ever planted something and watched it grow each and every day?  I had that privilege this past summer while working in a greenhouse filled with herbs.  Each Monday we would plant new seeds and every Friday they would be these tiny green plants just sprouting out of the soil.  About three weeks later when it came time for them to be sent out to other companies, I would be like a proud parent sending a child off to school (even though I have no clue what that feels like).  The nourishment and care that I gave to them is exactly the same from my Caretaker.  Even though I don’t realize something is good as soon as it happens, I look back and see the changes. 
            How about have you ever just sat and watched hummingbirds?  I think they are the most fascinating animals that He could have created!  I could watch them for hours on end.  These tiny 3-4 inch birds flap their wings about 55 times per second! The little details that God has put into everything that He has created just amaze me! I could probably write a book on it all!  Now it's you turn to "stop and think".
