The children have been very excited over the last 2 days due to the fact that Sarah and myself allowed ourselves to be talked into buying them 2 guinea pigs.

All three of the children have been seen sitting outside the hutch talking to the guinea pigs as they try to get them accustomed to us and used to being handled and so on. It’s quite interesting to watch the fascination of the children as they look upon their new family members (I’m not allowed to call them pets apparently!)

The light of fascination in the eyes of my children has caused me to think of the fascination of creation once once again. If I reflect it’s actually quite mazing that my three children who have grown up in a technological age and love play station, Wii, the computer etc can be fascinated by 2 little 7 week old guinea pigs.

The guinea pigs have held their attention yesterday and today much longer than any video game has done for ages.

It sees that there is something special, something fascinating, something amazing about life which my children are aware of and which I, and maybe other adults, have become de-sensitized to.

I think I need to reflect on the wonders of creation more than I do as today while I have observed my children from a distance while working on the laptop I have had this distinct feeling that I have been kissing out on something quite special.
