A speaker shares a startling fact about sand sharks, where the first embryo consumes its siblings in the womb, then describes watching a lightning storm with their kids during Shark Week. The message: pause and notice nature's power as a spiritual gift.
Good morning everyone. Did you know that of all the sharks, that the sand shark only ever produces 2 shark pups at a time? Only 2. And the reason being is because that shark has actually 2 uteruses, and so it produces a bunch of eggs, but in each uterus, the first baby shark born inside the uterus Eats up the rest of the eggs. And so those 2 surviving sharks are the only 2 that come out. Crazy, right? Well, it is Shark Week, and I love Shark Week. And so every night we've been watching Shark Week before the kids go to bed. And so last night we're watching Shark Week, so the kids— we're on the couch, we're watching Shark Week, and at the same time we've got this amazing lightning storm going on outside of our window, like Like a fireworks show. So that's going on, Shark Week's going on, and the lightning goes, and the kids ooh and ahh, and Holland goes, nature is awesome! Right? Nature is awesome. And indeed it is. Nature is awesome. Yet how often do we really, really, really stop to just breathe in nature? To appreciate The inspiration, the beauty, the rejuvenation that it gives us, and to recognize the oneness and the connection that we have to nature. And so my moment of yes for today is for you to today, as much as possible, appreciate the awesomeness of nature. On your drive to work, while you're sitting at home, can you take a few moments to just Breathe in the awesomeness of nature, to appreciate it, to notice it, and to listen to it. Can you listen to nature and its connection to love, to God, to the universe, that connection that it also has to you? Nature is awesome. That's your Moment of Yes for today, everyone. Have a great day. Have a great day.
