My son has sensory processing disorder...which means he pretty much moving ALL the time. He is quite the little guy, full of life and a great sense of adventure. I am noticing more and more where his passions are. Just like other boys, he loves dirt, and making mud, finding worms and bugs. An interesting thing just dawned on me, the only time he stopped, is when he has made a discovery. The world comes to an abrupt stop (which isn't always convenient when we need to get things done...or we have a destination in mind) and he looks, examines, and questions the item of choice in his little hand. We can choose to take the time and see all the gifts God has given us in everyday, or we can keep moving. I do not have sensory processing disorder, but I find myself in the same situation all the time. I keep moving, keep busy, doing this and that for so and so, and getting lost in the day to day activites of life...and I am missing life! If I stopped more and took a big breath in of fresh air, or spend some time in silence or in prayer, I know I would receive even more that God has to offer me.
So, take the time...to enjoy the worms...they are, after all, facinating.
