“Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, “Do it again”; and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough to exult in monotony. It is possible that God says every morning, “Do it again” to the sun; and every evening, “Do it again” to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike; it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.”
-GK Chesterton
that was beautiful, and it is wonderful to know that God never changes
What a wonderful thought, which could be developed, if only we had a child’s imagination….
“But perhaps God is strong enough to exult in monotony.” Great quote Bryan. Thanks for hitting my blog. I found much to relate to with yours, especially why you write.
Good thoughts, Bryan. Thanks for sharing!
Just what I needed Bryan!

Energy and vitality are issues I used to take for granted.

Lovely post, but to bounce back on one thing, God doesn’t change – but he is SO not monotonous …. wierd, huh?
