I Wonder as I Wander - The First Gift of the Holy Spirit?

This morning I found myself staring, somewhat mesmerized, at the little junco in our bird feeder.  The song that came to me was I Wonder as I Wander.   The song is often sung for Christmas.








I have been pondering that word "wonder" lately.  It reminds me of "fear of the Lord", the first Gift of the Holy Spirit, translated as wonder and awe.

As I stared at that little junco, I wondered at God's amazing creation and could not help but say, Thank you, Lord.  Wonder is a gift.
