A Little Wonder!


I'm linking up with Crystal again today for Behind the Scenes!  

I love this picture I took of Luke late Sunday afternoon!  Seconds before I snapped the picture, Luke had been holding a red dragonfly in his hands.  Luke loves dragonflies!  Jay caught one and called Luke outside.  As soon as Jay called to him that he had a dragonfly, we heard the thumping of little feet run through the house to come and see!

Luke held it in his hand really gently!  (Which isn't easy for a very solid almost 4 year old!)  He was so excited!  When it was time to let it go, the dragonfly walked on his hand for a few seconds before it flew off and I snapped this shot of Luke with amazement on his face!



It's amazing how one of God's smallest creations can cause so much excitement!  I can only imagine how many little graces God sends my way that I don't see because I don't take the time to look!  How many times does God whisper in my heart to see something that would bring excitement and joy to my soul?  How many times do I put off that whisper so that I can finish whatever it is I'm doing only to miss the moment?

I'm thankful for the reminder to find wonder in the little things!

Oh, yes, the lessons in joy that come from being a boy mom! It's so interesting to watch the different things that bring my girl and my boy joy. I love that you captured this moment.

I love this and it reminds me that we bring that type of joy to our Heavenly Father! What a blessing that you captured that moment of pure excitement and wondering!

Have a Happy Tuesday!

Thank-you:) Happy Tuesday to you, too!
Loved this picture & post! There have been a lot of dragon flies this year. I also am in awe of them as they have been so vibrant with color. Now I want one to land on me too :)) Thank you for sharing this. I visited from Behind The Scenes.
Blessings,
Joanne

Thanks for stopping by! They are super colorful!
Gosh, my little man does that to me too. I love watching him discover the world - he constantly reminds me that the world is amazing and beautiful, and that I need to slow down and see it.
