There are no “Seven Wonders
of the World” in the eyes of a child.
There are seven million.
What a sweet beautiful photo and thoughts. Blessings from Gayle at Behind the Gate.
Hi Gayle! Thank you so much. I just love the awe in her face. I could learn a lot from children
Have a great weekend,
Ceil
The photograph and the quote are wonderful…and so appropriate for the season!
Hi Linda! It does warm the heart…and the children shall lead us, right? I need to remember this attitude of awe.
Thank you for your visit! Blessings,
Ceil
I love seeing that look of wonder in the eyes of a child. Great quote!
Hi Mari! I do too! It remind me not to gloss over the smallest thing. There is beauty everywhere, especially in this hopeful season.
Have a wonderful weekend

That little child’s face says it so well, doesn’t it?
Hi Sylvia! It really captivated me. And the tree and the ornaments…what child doesn’t want to touch it?
Thank you for your visit today. It’s nice to see you through the bloghop!
Ceil
how precious! Thank you for starting my Saturday off so sweetly!
Hi JR! My pleasure, believe me. I just love the light and peace and beauty of this photo. I think we all can remember when a Christmas tree, all decorated, was a magical sight. I still do!
Happy Saturday

A beautiful photograph and a perfect quotation to accompany it….
Hi Jackie! Thank you…I just love this photo. I hope I can have the same kind of awe in Christmas, and the everyday.
Blessings to you my friend!
Ceil
Just Beautiful! Thank you for sharing. Blessings
Hi Linda! I agree! I love shiny things and the light they give, it reminds me of the light we can all be to each other. Like this little girl and the glittering gold of the ornament. What wonder and peace.
Have a great weekend
Ceil
Oh, how I love that quote and photo. It brought a big smile to my face and heart.
Hi Kathleen! Thank you, I just loved this scene. It shows me how I should approach all of creation. With wonder and awe!
Happy Weekend, my friend
Ceil
Thank you for your sweet comment to me. AND this photo, the words, the reality that made me smile now, is a real treat. Again, thank you… but this time just for your creative thinking, sharing. Bless you and yours, today and forever.
Hi Caryjo! I’m so glad you liked the photo and words. I just love this little girl, lit up by the lights and just in awe. That’s how I want to be!
Happy to follow you
Ceil
This is wonderful!!!
Hi HFF! Thank you, I really love this photo. The words really matched it too. To see wonder in everything is such a gift, isn’t it?
Thank you for your visit today
Ceil
And that, my friend, is why we love hanging out with our littlest ones, yes?
;-}
Hi Linda! Well, I hang out with this child anytime. Don’t you love the look on her face?
Happy Saturday my friend,
Ceil
Awesome picture to illustrate your quote! I thank God for the ability to see wonder; it truly is a gift. I feel sorry for those that don’t have it. I do feel you can cultivate it, though, when you look at things from His perspective.
In response to your kind comment the other day, I want to say I’m so happy to have met you this year as well! I’m pretty sure your voice is as a faith-blogger, too. Anyway, I enjoy visiting Evangelize to Me. Keep up the good work!
Hi Jerralea! I thank God for wonder too. It helps me to see his work in the world. I do have to work on it daily though, I can get pretty caught up in the day to day.
Thank you for your input on my ‘voice’. And your encouragement. I really appreciate your taking the time to give me support. We all need it
Blessings to you, and please keep writing too! I love to go and see you on your blog,
Ceil
You grabbed my attention with the title! I love seeing the world through the eyes of children and I get to do that five days a week.
Blessings and love,
Debbie
Hi Debbie! Well, I guess I’m glad I titled it that way then! You must see the wonder in their faces everyday, how great is that? I love this photo, it should be called ‘awe’.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Ceil
Oh my! What a lovely thought! I still feel like that sometimes! Our God is an awesome God…and He never ceases to amaze me with His creativity and power. We just have to open our eyes and take notice. thank you for this reminder.
Hi Pamela! I do too, and I want to work on feeling that more and more. He is an amazing God, and the more I see him in his works, the more amazing he becomes!
Keep warm
Ceil
Few words in this post, yet they have a very big, powerful impact. Thank you so much for sharing, Ceil. And the picture is perfect, just perfect!
Many hugs to you!
Hi Stephanie! Aw, you are so sweet. Thank you! I just loved this photo, isn’t she so cute? And so enraptured by a shiny ornament. I’m like that too. Always love the shiny stuff
Have a wonderful weekend, and a hug back to you,
Ceil
Awwwwww, so true!
Hi Jaime Jo! I bet your four year old supplies you with all kinds of ‘wonder moments’. I remember those days. So fun!
Happy Weekend! and thanks for your visit! It was so kind of you to read two posts, and comment on both of them. Thank you!
Ceil
Isn’t that the truth? May we be like children!
Hi Susan! I will join you in your prayer. If we all can see the wonder of life every day, how much more thankful we would be too..
Have a blessed Sunday!
Ceil
Beautiful pictures and the words. One of the reasons I love to play with the kids
Thanks for sharing Ceil!
Have a good Sunday!
Hi Delvalina! I guess there’s a good reason why Jesus wants us to be like children. They see wonder in everything!
You have a blessed day too, my friend.
Ceil
Oh, the perfect wonder of a child!
Hi Mindy! Amen. And may I learn to be more like that, and see God’s beauty everywhere.
Have a good evening, and keep warm!
Ceil
May our hearts be changed to embrace the faith of children! Such a delightful photo – the amazement and adoration in her face … Soften my heart Lord, that I may see all Your miracles and wonders!
Wishing you joyful moments here in December, Ceil, with your lovely family … and the arrival of the new familymember!
Nina
Hi Nina! I am so glad you liked the photo! As a photographer, I know you see this with a different eye.
I join you in your prayer, and that would be a perfect Christmas gift wouldn’t it?
Thank you for your generous wishes for me too and the family. Looking forward to my new grandchild for sure
Always good to see you!
Ceil
How Lovely =)
Hi Natalie! Thank you, I agree. I just love the look on this little girl’s face. Who doesn’t love a shiny ornament??
Blessings,
Ceil
I love the way little kids see things–so fresh and innocent! Do you have kids and grandkids? Happy Christmas!
Hi Jeanette! I agree with you. This little one’s photo just struck me so much.
Yes! I have two children and two grandchildren. On 12/19, I’ll have a third grandchild. Love it! Thanks for asking
Blessings to you,
Ceil
Oh, Ceil, What a beautiful photo! There is nothing more beautiful than the eyes/innocence of a child! I love your Christmas header!! Thank you for your sweet birthday blessings and prayers….it means a lot! Roxie
Hi Roxie! I agree, I just love this photo, and the saying too.
I hope you have a wonderful new year, full of blessings and vintage finds! You are always in my prayers.
Thanks for coming by on your birthday!

Hello Friend. How I love this! What joy there is in seeing the glory of the season through the eyes of our children (and grandchildren)! Blessings to you as we begin a new week of wonder and joy.
Hi Dina! Oh my gosh, it’s so nice to see you! I hope you have doing well? I’ll come by tomorrow for a visit.
I do love this photo, and the quote just seemed to go with it. It will be fun to experience Christmas with my grandchildren this year.
Thank you for visiting!
Ceil
Dear Ceil
Can I please correct you a little bit!! Not seven million wonders, but seventy times seven million wonders. Wise, wise words, dear friend!.

Mia
Hi Mia! Thank you for reading two posts and commenting on them too.
Go ahead and correct me! I agree with you. We should find wonder in all of creation, that’s for sure.
Blessings to you,
Ceil
This is so true. I recently finished the Wonderstruck Bible study by Margaret Feinberg… she prompts us to look at the world with wonder and awe. I realized while doing the study how easily children do it… yet as adults we have to be mindful and intentional about it.
Wishing you a blessed day.
xoxo
Hi Jennifer! Your bible study sounds great, and so timely for this season of Christmas. I think if I am in awe, it will turn me to thanks. And God loves his children’s thanks! You are so right, I have to be intentional. It doesn’t come naturally enough.
Thank you for reading two posts, and commenting on them too. You are such a generous person
Blessings on this cold morning,
Ceil
