What a lot we take for granted!

When Carl Linnaeus the great Swedish botanist, visited England, he saw, for the first time in his life, a gorse bush in full flower.  It is said that he was so overwhelmed by it's beauty that he instantly knelt before it, giving thanks to God.

Let us open our eyes and our hearts today and look at the wonders around us for the first time.
