Silent Gifts

I was sitting at my computer this morning when all of a sudden I felt the eyes of my 1 year old granddaughter on me. She was silently standing beside my chair, looking at me with adoring, expectant eyes. I startled, wondering how many minutes of treasure I had missed. I immediately thought about how many times God had looked silently at me with adoring, expectant eyes and I had missed His gaze. I prayed I would be more aware of His silent gifts, resulting in a blessing for us both.
