Well, my initial reaction to the events of today was that it was nothing special- altogether ordinary. Just another tackle the mountain of laundry in my room, don't forget to do the dishes, day. But then I got to thinking about what, exactly, we call an 'ordinary' day and the irony made me laugh.
I mean, think about it: right now, we're sitting on a hunk of rock that's flying around a ball of fire at more than 65 thousand miles an hour! In this very second, more than 100 billion cells in your brain are making thought possible, and your heart will have pumped some 1800 gallons of blood before you fall asleep tonight! Right now, more than three million different types of animals are going about their business on earth, and if you multiply that by two thousand, you'll have something close to the number of people. And yet, life is so fragile. If one chemical in the atmosphere were missing, or one amino acid from our bodies, or we were any closer or farther from the sun, there would be no life.
Everything is perfectly designed to make life as we know it possible, and we are just one tiny part of an incredibly fragile creation made expressly to glorify the Creator. So, next time you think you're waking up to just an 'ordinary day', think again!

I really enjoyed this! I was acctually just thinking about this exact thing the other day. how amazingly we have been created. If just one little thing was off the whole Earth would go spinning into the Sun, or we would freeze to death if the axis were tilted just slightly.
ReplyDeleteI just wish I could have an ordinary day :)
