"The world is so full of a number of things, I’m sure we should all be as happy as kings.” — Robert Louis Stevenson
We are banqueted daily like guests at a royal feast. Depending on the day, we may be treated to rain, to sun, to bees, to butterflies, to snow, to green grass, to falling leaves, to warm cocoa, to cold lemonade, to fresh flowers, to fermented grapes, to tall trees, or to short naps. Just outside our front door, the stage is set and various plays are being performed by millions of species of characters — stories surround us; tragedies and comedies abound. If we are not entertained, it is not their lack of effort, but for our lack of attention. God is a great host and has given us much.
Proverbs 15:15b-17
The cheerful of heart has a continual feast.
We are treated to a royal buffet every day. Let the one who has eyes to see, see it and not take it for granted, but take it, as Chesterton urged, with gratitude.
