About a year ago I was Christmas shopping. The place was packed and the customers were elbow to elbow. In the corner of my eye I noticed a cute brown-headed little girl with her mom. As her mom swiftly went from one rack to the next the girl tagged along. She was quiet, until she spoke.
"Hey mom!" she shouted out. She did startle a few older women but it didn't take long for them to resume their focus. She persisted. "HEY MOM!"
"Yes, hunny", the mom said while shuffling through some shirts.
Little Girl took that as her cue to continue.
"Did you know that GOD made worms? And MOM! Did you know that God made the grass? MOM! Did you know that God made the sky and the trees?"
While the rest of the customers tuned the little girl out, including her mother, I stared at that brown-headed girl in wonder. She was announcing God's goodness and stating how he had made everything that she loved. No. She wasn't stating it, she was yelling it out oblivious to any thoughts of ridicule or rejection. She had good news and she wanted her mom to share in it. She wasn't about to let her revelation of God's creation go unnoticed. I mean really...take a minute...think about it.
GOD MADE THE TREES!
Pretty cool if you ask me.
