Moss is amazing – when you look at it closely.

My young son is fascinated by moss. He loves to touch it and marvel at its softness. Recently we found patches of moss in the forest that were thick like cushions. We agreed that kind of moss would make a good pillow if we had to sleep out in the woods. He wanted to rip up a hunk and take it home. But I convinced him to leave it intact for the sake of all the critters that were probably living beneath it.

I love the fact that God created moss and caused my son to wonder at it. I’m thankful that as he did so, I was reminded of God’s glory, reminded also to be as a little child.
