Day 3 of my beautiful journey.

Yesterdays quote from C.S. Lewis got me thinking a lot about science, and how much we miss as a result of science. As humans we want an answer for everything, thus science began as man sought to explain the world away. Now understand that I am not railing against science, the contributions it has made to society are too numerous to recount, but as a result I think we over look many of the simple beauties in our world. Why? Because we 'understand' it now.

Let's take a simple fruit, like this kiwi here. Anyone else out there love kiwi's? I do. I think they are wonderful. But how often do we miss the beauty that is inherent in this tiny little gem? Outside of its marvelous color inside it contains dozens of tiny seeds that allow it to replicate itself and those seeds are surrounded by a wonderfully delicious material. What are the odds of a plant evolving to not only be edible, but nutritious, and furthermore delicious? Not only that but Kiwi's are only one of hundreds of tasty edible plants! Just think of the delicious plants that we have available to us, strawberries, potatoes (I love potatoes), oranges, bananas and the list could go on and on! What an amazing creator we have that he provides such wonderful treats for us!

And what beauty is within those treats! Many contain vibrant colors from the entire spectrum! And the flavors of each are so unique and wonderful! Today I have been enthralled by the Lords creativity in providing us with food, he could've made such things simple, plain and bland, but instead he made them marvelous to behold and wonderful to experience.

I will declare the beauty of the Lord

Nothing compares to the beauty of the Lord

Jesus Your love takes my breath away

Now I'm living everyday for the beauty of the Lord

The beauty of the Lord
