The Moon and Other Surprises

 The Moon and Other Surprises is the title of my latest video (Dawnian Productions Channel on YouTube). It started as an expression and expanded from there into what you see. I was thinking about how our world is at the moment - truth-averse, corrupt, violent, polarised, a focus on death rather than life, man-centred, selfish and evil. However, amidst all that, there is still much beauty, innocence, heroism, courage, truth, life-affirmation, and my heart was drawn to young children. They rarely have an agenda. They are often awestruck by what they see. They have fun and still are not nuanced in their reactions to things.

As adults, we often lose our capacity to be in awe of anything and become jaded so quickly. We see things and we experience things, as we pass by, on our way to appointments, meetings, expectations and outcomes...and somehow the wonder, the surprises and the little celebrations and coincidences of life, of beauty, of Creation and of God, are missed. 

I believe it is time to stop and take time to look at, listen to, spend time with, our Creator who created the moon, the wonders of the natural world and the Word of Truth. Be in awe again. Be reverent again, Trust again, Be reassured again. Be inspired. Be joyful. Be safe and loved again. Be surprised again...by the one who was there at the beginning. He is still there. He is still in control. He still reigns. He literally wrote the book and He knows how it ends....and He wants you there at the end, with Him.

Be Loved and Blessed.
