May 29, 2026: Moments Almanac | Wonder

Share Your ThoughtsWhat do you do when the storms hit — not just in the sky, but in the soul?In this second episode of the Moments Almanac, we pause to remember those who are waking up this morning to damaged homes, uprooted lives, and weary hearts. Because in moments like these, compassion matters more than commentary.We also mark the birthday of G. K. Chesterton — born May 29, 1874 — journalist, novelist, theologian, and lover of paradox. More than anything, Chesterton taught people how to see. To find wonder in ordinary bread. Glory in ordinary days. Grace hiding beneath familiar things.In a world that never lacks for wonders but constantly lacks for wonder, his voice still speaks.Featuring reflections on Psalm 118:24, a lyric from the hymn Morning Has Broken, and a prayer for eyes that still notice the sacred ordinary."The world will never starve for want of wonders, but only for want of wonder." — G. K. Chesterton
