I watched a video of a newborn that had been placed on her mother's chest just moments after she was born. This baby then proceeded to move all by herself across her mother's chest and find food and begin eating. It took awhile. It was a slow process but with small pushes with her legs and arms she moved. She turned her head back and forth, pushed her way around and found her way to food. All without any adult putting her mouth directly in the spot it needed to go. It was amazing. Most babies could do this if given the chance. We assume they're completely helpless.
When I saw the video I was so awed by what God has done. Look what we miss just because we're in such a hurry to move things along on our schedule. What if we slowed down enough to learn what God has provided for us? What if we took the time to actually see the miracles all around us, every single day? What awesome things would we see? Would we be speechless, or too busy rushing on to the next thing to even notice?
The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of His hands.
~Psalm 19:1
