Legend
claims 

at midnight 

Christmas Eve

animals
received 

the gift of speech,

but I
imagine 

it was the other way around

that first
starlight night.  

Animals didn’t gain

but humans lost, 

for once, 

their words.

Speechless, 

they welcomed 

the Word in silence,

led by the
animals 

in a chorus of mute wonder.

Welcome to the #SmallWonder link-up.

What if we chose to deliberately look for the small moments of wonder, the small sparks of presence, of delight or sorrow, of true humanity in which we meet God? 

That’s my proposal – that we gather here each week to share one moment of Wonder from each of our days.  

You’re invited to link-up a brief post about a small moment of wonder.  Don’t worry if your post is too long, too short, or not just right – you’re welcome to come as you are.  

While you’re here, please do take a look around and encourage at least one other blogger with a comment.
