A proof of God

I've never really needed a "proof" for God. Even before I was a Christian, I believed in a higher power. And yet there are plenty of atheists out there, some I have known and at least a few dozen I have not. Well, the other day I happened upon this line of reasoning that forced me to praise God for the rest of the week. Even if I wanted to, I could not deny His hand upon this world. The "proof" goes as follows:

Blue flowers
A little girl playing
Italian food

I'm actually being perfectly serious here. It may sound frivolous, but it is not. Consider the astronomical chance involved in each of these small delights were there no God. Science cannot explain the joy of these three things. It cannot explain my smile when experience any one of them.

Praise God that there are blue flowers, little girls playing, and Italian food. They are small mercies within this world, and make it all the more reason to sing His holy name.
