Professor Gary Greenberg who holds a PHD in Biomedical Research from the University College in London recently spent 5 years searching the globe for sand grains to photo. Using tiny accupuncture needles he sought to to find and arrange the most perfect specimens. Once found, he magnified them 250x real life.
What did he find?….The photos will amaze you!
Each grain of sand….a tiny treasure…
Each grain of sand….a true work of art.
Each grain of sand…an infusion of God’s creative genius.
Each grain of sand….unique and original.
“For you make me jubilant, Lord, by your deeds; at the works of your hands I shout for joy. How great are your works, Lord! How profound your purpose!” Ps 92: 5-6
Heavenly Father, how great and wonderful are your works. If just one grain of sand bespeaks your artistry in ways unsurpassed, how much greater the beauty of the human person. Each a tiny treasure; Each a true work of art; Each an infusion of Your creative genius; Each unique and original. Give me eyes to see beyond the flesh to the magnificent work of art in each person that crosses my path. Magnify my vision to detect the glorious reflection of You in those I meet. Through Christ, Our Lord Amen.
