WONDER



"Take a good look at God's wonders, they will take your breath away" - Psalm 66:5


Wonder! Isn't that word just beautiful? I have known this word since forever but the reality of the meaning it carries struck me recently. I have a kid sister (Enny) who fills me with wonder every single time she crosses my thought. One time she is everywhere causing sweet trouble, I'm scolding her but she is smiling sheepishly and giving me that "I'm not affected by all those words you have uttered so can you please stop talking and let's move on?" expression. I'm like "can this babe be any less annoying?", "why won't she sulk or do something dramatic so I can be sure my message got through to her?". No! Not Enny! She would rather cling to me when I clearly said I'm in need of personal space. She would hug me tight when I say I'm no longer friends with her when she is being naughty. This evening we had that silent moment we usually observe when mum is angry. Everyone was trying as much as possible to hold their peace because all and every word we speak could and definitely would be used against us. It wasn't up to 5 minutes after mummy stopped talking actually nagging that Enny brought up a conversation, when she was done talking she started singing not minding what mum's reaction would be. Just how could I not be in awe? She is too full of wonders.

OPEN DECLARATION




Where do I start from?
Just how do I tell the tale of my transformation?
It all began with a decision
A decision to love irrespective.
