Everyone, it seems,
enjoys to be entertained,
pampered, and given fantastic gifts…
TV, computers, cars, sports,
games, art, music, all the trimmings
and creature comforts
of our secular world.

Have we recently seen…
not just looked…
at God’s indescribably
beautiful, intricate,
and complex creation?

The master deceiver
wants you to ignore
(as much as he can)
and to become desensitized
to God’s gifts.

Take time today, tomorrow,
and every day
to really look
(learn and enjoy)
and praise Him
for “His” gifts.

“There is no peace more wonderful
than the peace we enjoy
when faith shows us
God in all created things.”
- Jean-Pierre de Caussde
(1675-1751)
Jesuit Priest and Spiritual Director
