Giraffes are beautiful and graceful.  They tower above with their regal height and amaze me with their perfectly placed brown spots.  But when I saw some Saturday at the Denver Zoo, I observed a common human characteristic as well.

We all have a tendency to compare, to think that someone else has it better than we do, to covet what they have.  We think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence and sometimes we even jump the fence to get at what they're having - just like the giraffe in the photo.

On this Makeover Monday, let's give the grass on our own side of the fence a makeover.  Take a look at what's right in front of you and count those blessings.

My nephew loves to play peek-a-boo.  He even initiates the game and no matter how many times he pops out from behind a chair, from under a blanket, or from a flowing curtain, he laughs with delight at the joy of seeing the delight reflected on our faces as well.

I am amazed that he never tires of delighting in those little things.  And I am reminded that God never tires of delighting in us – whatever ‘little’ thing we have done.  He delights to see His delight reflected in our faces.  Simple as that.  We are a delight to our heavenly Father.

May you delight in that truth today.
