The noun, rumination, means a deep considered thought about something.
As I am in my senior years, I am often amazed at those things in front of us that we never quite see.
For example, when riding to daily Mass, I force myself to find something on either side of the road that I might not have seen before due to not focusing on what is present. It might be a cloud in the sky, the sunrise or sunset, a new fence, beautiful landscape, new restaurant or business, simple things like that.
What I see anew is often beautiful in its presentation and I thank God for letting me see His beauty in the world around me.
God is present everywhere, always knocking at our heart and human senses to see that presence, showing us how much He loves us through His gifts that are always there before us.
Let’s make it a priority each day to see God’s presence anew and then thank Him for always being so good to us.
