Stop and Wonder

I thought to myself today, how often do I stop and wonder? It seems to me that most of us just accept everything we're told and don't give it a second thought. For instance, we all know that a tree comes from a seed. Duh, you're saying, I've known that since 1st grade. Think about it though, an entire TREE can come out a tiny SEED. That's amazing!!! The trunk and every stem, leaf, twig, branch, fruit, and nut that s tree bears comes from that very seed!

Or how about this one: a human. In a single moment, millions of things are happening in your body. As your reading this, your eyes are taking in every word (unless you're just skimming through it, and if you are then you need to start over), while at the same moment, your heart is beating, you're breathing (I hope), your blood is flowing, your stomach is digesting your latest meal....and tons more! And you're not controlling any of those! The human body is fascinating. You start off as a tiny embryo....and then you become a baby....a toddler.....a child....a teenager.....an adult.......and finally an old person! And the possibilities of what you look like are endless! Eye, hair, & skin color along with being short, tall, fat, skinny. Not to mention, abilities like being athletic, creative, smart, funny, social, & annoying. And you have body parts uniquely placed in just the right place to do just the right thing.
