Wonderment




I so seldom use the word I had to look it up to make sure it existed.  What has happened to me? 
Remember when you'd see the first snow and beg Mom to let  you go outside?  The knowing that Christmas wasn't far off once the snow stayed on the ground.  So how do you feel now when you see that snow coming?
The snow is here and I look out my window with trepidation, not wonderment. When did I change?  I want my wonderment back.  I want to wake up every morning and look forward to all that the new day has to offer.  Jump out of bed and be in love with life.
Lord this is my prayer.  Make me excited about all that You have planned for me.

I hope you get your wonderment! That is the part of growing older that I'm most scared of- losing my excitement for life. So I pray you get your wonderment back so that I'll know that all of life can be exciting and full of wonderment :)
