So insignificant yet so precious

God our Father,    may the vastness of your creation    that we can begin to see through a telescope,    remind us of the abundance of your love.    May the lowliness    of the smallest creatures and cells    that we can see through a microscope,    remind us of how insignificant - yet special -    we appear to be.    May our vision each day    of the world around us    remind us that you so loved the world    that you sent Jesus, your Son,    to be one of us.    In all that we observe,    open our eyes    so that we may really see    and grow in wonder and appreciation.     Amen
