The new Good Housekeeping magazine and a comment from yesterday’s women’s Bible class are centering my thoughts today on “the power of awe.” Take time today to say, “Wow! that’s just wonderful” about as many routine things you can. It will reduce stress, increase joy, dilute the bad news being blown out of proportion in the news, and give us more reasons to thank God. I’m celebrating that I have a car to share with Paul while theirs is in the shop, I’m celebrating feeling well enough this morning to anticipate our small group coming in a couple of hours, I’m celebrating a delicious peach we shared for breakfast, and I’m celebrating finishing another chapter of Christmas is Coming at Whispering Woods and completing the five Advent Wreath ceremonies I’ve been working on. It’s a great day to notice the wonderful things and people God puts there for us to see, if we only take the time to notice and say, “Wow!” I urge you to read Helen Keller’s “Three Days to See.” You can find it on line. I referred to it in my newest book because it causes me to pay attention to things I’d otherwise not notice. Things that show “the power of awe.”
