Unnoticed Gifts

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. (James 1:17, NKJV)

Through the front door window for several minutes this morning I watched a spring bunny eating clover in our front yard. Since the door remained closed the little furry creature was content to nibble on though a skeptical eye darted my direction every second or two. Once he stretched his legs taller then I thought any bunny could stand on all fours. A childish giggle threatened to slip out, but I held it back with guarded lips.

God puts numerous blessings right in front of us every day. We are just too busy to notice. Bundles of fur, golden sunsets and budding roses are lovingly placed in plain view tempting our hearts to praise God.

Heavenly Father: Open my eyes. Slow my steps so I don’t miss Your otherwise unnoticed gifts.
