4.0 out of 5 stars A Thought Provoking Daily Companion, September 10, 2004

This review is from: Simple Wonders: A Book of Reflections (Paperback)

Activity is the rule of life in the 21st Century with most people not taking the time to observe and reflect on the simple pleasures of life...those daily gifts God daily integrates into our lives. We have become so distracted with our "to do" lists that we overlook the little, but important, elements of life that give meaning and joy - something overlooked...something in our home...something in our surroundings...or, most importantly, something in the those that touch us.

De Vinck, in this neatly written daily reader, tweaks us to look outside of ourselves and to see God at work in all aspects of daily life. De Vinck shows that all we have to do is be present (show up) and observe. "Simple Wonders" is good companion to begin the day - starting the day ready to show up, and observe...and, as God works on us, to experience the fruit of the day with meaning and joy.
