Sadly I think you are right Ruth. The Bibles opening words are “In the beginning God created…” It was God who created, not us, and when we don’t start with that we take far too much for granted.

When we lived in B.C. the word awesome was used for so much it meant nothing. I have wondered if it is an indication of what we have also done in our attitude and use of the word towards God and his works. We don’t seem to have the awe and reverence for his majesty and omniscience, his magnificence, grandeur and power. Somehow we have made his work among us ordinary and lost our wonder.

Hi Paul. Yes, I think they do – and carving out time for them is important. Recently I have started getting up a little earlier each day to make sure I have a reasonable amount of time for quiet, and prayer and noticing. I’m not naturally a morning person, but I’m finding it really worthwhile.

Resonate strongly with this. What helps us (other than getting away) to slow down and notice, to be more present to life today? Do our spiritual practices help?
