Recognize the Sparkle

If we train ourselves, we can sense God's presence in every object or person we encounter during even a humdrum day; and recognizing the sparkle in the bubble is itself a way to worship the God who created bubbles and added sparkles for the fun of it.
--Leslie Williams

I think this is an awesome quote...wish I had said it. I think we so often overlook the sparkles in so many things and so many people. God has made such beauty around us. We should take the time to look at even the small things and just rejoice in all of God's creations. This time of year is my favorite. It's not hard for me to notice the sparkling going on. I love watching the trees turn bright red and orange! Awesome. Then there are some people who think they are insignificant, or think they don't shine, but if you take the time to get to know them...they just have all kind of sparkle about them! They may just need an encouraging word to know they are created by God to do nothing less than sparkle. Let's not be so busy or so humdrum that we miss the beauty in creation!
