PHOTO CAPTION: "Photo courtesy PDPhoto.org."Wonder of Wonders
There's wonder when a grain of sand
becomes a perfect pearl;
when, in the east, the sun will rise
to heat and light the world.
to heat and light the world.

How does a mighty oak tree
How does a mighty oak tree
from a tiny acorn grow;
and purple martins return in spring
to homes they already know?
----
Why have humans throughout time
Why have humans throughout time
looked up and been convinced?
The beauty of creation
The beauty of creation
is awesome evidence.
----
Perhaps somewhere deep inside our souls
a sense of God comes through,
and with the spark that lights a fire,
we come to know what's true.
----
Insight is granted to each of us
to accept or reject as we will.
And even if we ignore it,
His Spirit remains with us still.
----
He comes to us in sunshine,
and He comes again in rain.
He's there with us in happy times
and shares with us our pain.
----
It's when we learn to seek Him
It's when we learn to seek Him
that all wonder is revealed.
We'll say to Him, My Savior,
and find that we are healed.
