The Extra in Ordinary

Isn't it fascinating how all inanimate objects have its own personality? Each one unique in its own way--different and set apart from the rest, somehow. Everything around us has character: the styles of clothes we wear, the kinds of food we eat and beverages we drink, the types of places we visit, genres of music we listen to, the phrases we say...

and so on, and so on...

Thank you Jesus for giving us the ability to find pleasure and amusement in the smallest and simplest of things. Life is filled with the ordinary and the mundane--our daily challenge should be to take a closer look at our usual surroundings and everything in them to find something extra about it.

Everything is ordinary--until you find that something extra. And that my friend, is pretty extraordinary.
