Day 44 - wonder.

Day 44 and I start with a quote I've been reading mad by GK Chesterton "the older one gets, the more it takes to fill the soul with wonder."

Got me thinking today. Sometimes I've seen the snowcapped Sierra Nevada mountains and liked them, but maybe not stirred to wonder. Or take last nights opening Winter Olympic Ceremony - good but again not wonder.
Take the music I have in my iPod (or 'had' until I wrongly sync'd it to another iTunes account - oops), again good but nothing wonder.
The list could go on of good, perhaps a few greats, but no wonder.

Is it just that I'm getting older?
Have I lost my childlike wonder at 'McDonald's Chicken Nuggets'; or the wonder a kid has as you make a face and make them laugh 'again, again, again!!!!'

Perhaps.

What I'm finding is that only God can fill the wonder gap my age has created

And God does.

The wonder of a visiting older guy last Sunday to our church who left in tears as he reminded a friend who comes to our church just what God is doing at Redeemer's.
The wonder of hearing the testominy of a trucker who was helped by a lady who because she was follwoing Christ stopped to help him.
The wonder of grace.
The wonder of a kid insisting they come to church on Wednesday night.
The wonder of ........

Yep - God still delivers wonder and today I enjoyed some of the wonder as I followed Christ.
