"Thanks be to God for his gift that is too wonderful for words." ---(2 Corinthians 9:15)--
~~~WHY did He do it? A shack would have sufficed, but he gave us a mansion. Did He have to give the birds a song and the mountains a peak? Was he required to put stripes on the zebra and the hump on the camel? ....Why wrap Creation in such splendor? Why go to such trouble to give such gifts?
Next time a sunrise steals your breath or a meadow of flowers leaves you speechless, remain that way. Say nothing and listen as Heaven whispers, "Do yo like it? I did it just for you."
