I would have missed this tiny crab entirely had it not been scurrying across the sand. When it sensed me, it simply stopped. Too far to get to the safety of the nearest rock, I guess. It is about 1 inch across. I took the picture and still it didn’t move. Just a tiny green crab and me, having a moment on the shore.
Life is astonishing in its diversity. From this tiny crab to the pelicans flying overhead to the sea stars clinging to rocks to seals lounging in the sun, everything is worth noticing. ”Consider the lilies of the field,” and how much God cares for them. The glory of creation, and we are created to be a part of it. To revel in the wonder of it. To enjoy and protect it.
How might we honor creation - and thereby the Creator - today? Notice. Wonder. Give thanks.
