Seeing What Is Already Here

Scripture  Matthew 6:26–29 (NRSVUE)  Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns,  and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.  Are you not of more value than they?  And which of you by worrying  can add a single hour to your span of life?  And why do you worry about clothing?  Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow;  they neither toil nor spin,  yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory  was not clothed like one of these.  Refrain  Open my eyes to what is already here.  Quote / Poem  Annie Dillard  “We are here to abet creation and to witness it,  to notice each thing so each thing gets noticed.  Together we notice not only each mountain shadow  and each stone on the beach  but we notice each other’s beautiful face  and complex nature  so that creation need not play  to an empty house.”   Hosted on Acast.
