However, this is no excuse, because if they possessed the ability to examine the universe, why did it take them so long to find you, the Lord of the universe? (Wisdom of Solomon 13:8, 9) (This verse comes from the Apocrapha - a collection of scripture that can be found in Roman Catholic Bibles)
One of the best things about having grandchildren is getting to see the world anew through their eyes. The beach, snow, geese flying in formation. I will never forget the first time Cecelia noticed a firefly. She lit up as brightly as they did with her laughter at the astounding wonder of these tiny creatures.
As adults, we forget that we are living in the middle of a miracle. What excites us? A touchdown? I rise in the stock market? An unexpected bonus? A new car? This is what the world tells us we should be excited about. But the real excitement is all around us, if we will just look with new eyes... if we would just get out there where the real excitement is. Not in the middle of where all the crowds are. They are following the world. Take the road less traveled, and you will be astounded at what you find. Creation. And when you get close to creation, you find it impossible not to feel close to God. And you find it impossible not to believe that only God could create such things.
Look at what these women found when they took a road less traveled... amazing!

Father,
Help us to see that we live in the middle of a miracle. Amen.
