\"Cobweb

Cobweb at Squire Boon Caverns by the mill<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin?\u00a0 Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father’s knowledge.\u00a0 Even all the hairs of your head are counted.\u00a0 So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Matthew 10: 26-31<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Isn’t it hard to fathom that God knows about every sparrow falling and actually has a count of all the hairs on our head?\u00a0 Yesterday I took my kids and one I babysit along with my sister her kids and babysitting kids, and another friend and 3 more kids to Squire Boon Caverns.\u00a0 It was a wonderful field trip lots of interactive things for the children to learn about.\u00a0\u00a0They made candles, they saw how the old mill works and how the energy is used to grind corn into cornmeal.\u00a0 They sifted dirt and rock with water like the miners did.\u00a0 Best of all we went on a tour of the cave, breathtaking. The site above was one of the first stops we made by the mill before the kids rushed to that waterfall you see in the background.\u00a0 It is an undisturbed spiderweb.\u00a0 With the sun reflecting on it, it just shone so brightly I had to take a picture.<\/p>\n

As I looked through my pictures the cobweb again shone brightly.\u00a0 I have always been amazed with how intricate a cobweb is and it is made by a spider.\u00a0 Not an engineer who earns a degree in designing things correctly.\u00a0 It wasn’t hand crafted by an artist with brilliant talent.\u00a0 It was created by an eight legged spider created by God.\u00a0 Which made me think about how God knows everything even where the cobwebs are placed by his furry little spiders.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Teaching the concept of God to my children is not easy.\u00a0 Spencer my 6 year old told me Saturday evening during Mass, in a not so quiet voice, “There is a mystery here you know.\u00a0 No one knows where God came from.”\u00a0 I responded in a whisper “Yes that is a mystery, there are many mysteries with God”.\u00a0 My four year old wants so badly to have a concrete idea of God and where he lives.\u00a0 In the car on the way home from the field trip yesterday the kids were asking about a deceased great grandma and questioned where she is now.\u00a0 I said in heaven.\u00a0 Spencer said “It’s up there.\u00a0 In heaven\u00a0is everything good that you ever wanted”.\u00a0 I told him “But not things”.\u00a0 He said “I know but God is there in heaven and with everyone and in every one’s house all at the same time, he is even in our house right now and we are not at home yet”.\u00a0 I have tried to teach them about the word omnipresent – present everywhere, that God is omnipresent.\u00a0 How confusing is that for a four year old?\u00a0 But I have learned you answer your children’s questions the best and most honest and simple way you know how.\u00a0 Luckily my other children are constantly trying to help me explain it to the younger ones.<\/p>\n

It gives me personally such a warm feeling of relief to believe and have faith, like Ethan says “Faith is not knowing for sure, it’s believing without knowing its a fact” that God knows that on that little road in Corydon IN next to that old Mill built many years ago there is a cobweb.\u00a0 If God knows that then he knows where I am now and that is a comfort to me that he cares to know.<\/p>\n

“So do not be afraid; You are worth more than many sparrows”.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Each of YOU are worth more than many cobwebs to God!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
