I hope that you enjoy this writing, which I wrote last week:

What do you see?

Tuesday, May 18, 2004

            Have you ever seen the “arrow” in the Federal Express logo? I hadn’t until yesterday.

At church on Sunday, Dan Cramer was telling about the Fed Ex logo and how the “X” is butted up against the “E. And how an arrow is formed between the two. “Little kids who can’t read or don’t know the alphabet will point out the arrow immediately,” he said. “Adults can’t see it.”

            So yesterday I spotted a Fed Ex truck in town. Yep, there was the arrow! It was there all the time, but my eyes had never seen it before.

            I thought how similar things could be in our added dimension as Christians. Sometimes God is able to point out things to us that we haven’t seen before but have been there all the time!

Dear Lord:  Help me to see things that You see. Help me not to demand more, until I recognize what I already have and the many gifts you have given me. Thank you for what I know that I possess and for the things I have not spotted yet. Thanks for giving me eyes to see, both the physical and the spiritual. Amen.
