HANDLE WITH CARE There are two types of blindness. The first happens when my eyes cannot see light; the second happens when I cannot see God. There are two types of deafness. The first happens when my ears cannot detect the vibration of sound; the second happens when my ears have lost their ability to hear God’s voice. I see God’s love in the birth of a child. I hear God’s voice in the sound of laughter and joy. I see the beauty of his palette painted in the sunset. I see his infinite power in the billions of galaxies that He created and hurled into space. I feel his care in the warmth of the sun that shines on my face. I see the twinkle in his eyes in the stars at night. I hear God speak in the silence of the wilderness. I hear God sing in the songs that He gave to each bird. I feel God’s love in the love that I have for my children. Every time a baby is born, I know that God hasn’t given up on the human race. Everywhere and at all times, God is at work in my world. God is always present in my sense of wonder. If I lose my sense of wonder, I lose my sight and hearing. I lose God, and I lose the meaning of my life. My sense of wonder is fragile, and I must handle it with care.
