Unexpected Delight
Are there not miracles all around?
A coin on the ground.
A flower in the crack of a wall.
An unexpected smile.
What have you hidden for me to find and take delight in today, Lord?
❖
What if I were to expect such things throughout the day? This is a day that was made. It has not simply arisen by chance.
Let me take delight in all the parts of this day, Lord.

Consider:
Can I look for and expect delight and surprise?
