These are not great towering spiritual truths. They are little spiritual truth–but none the less true for that.
The beauty that we can see all around us, in ordinary things; food and drink that tastes good, and gives us pleasure; dogs and cats that love us–no, we never would have thought of including these features in any world created by ourselves.
Actually, a world created by man is a profounding horrifying thought.
You are right, and man doesn’t even understand how to care for and appreciate the world that God has created for us.
Chesterton once said, “We thank Father Christmas [Santa Claus] for filling our stockings with gifts at Christmas. Why do we not thank God each day for filling our stockings with the miraculous gift of legs?”
God is so awesome! Good post even as I read it 3 years ago!
