Heather Bell

One day, a renowned botanist was examining the Heather Bell, a flower that grows in the Highlands around Scotland. As he was looking through a microscope, a shepherd herding sheep approached him, and asked what he was doing. Instead of trying to explain to him what he was doing, the botanist invited him to look through the microscope. The lonely shepherd was amazed at what he saw and exclaimed ‘Oh my God! and I’ve been stepping on them all my life!’ Maybe we too can look around the small minute miracles God gives us daily and see if we can observe something even more beautiful than a few leaves with flowers. Then again, we can look at people whom we tend to take for granted sometimes and see how much kindness and generosity and talents they are gifted with.
