This excellent article from Dr. Nigel Cundy (the Quantum Thomist) - Does God cause the grass to grow?, reminds me a bit of how necessary childlike wonder is, and how we should all read more Chesterton. Here’s a quote from Orthodoxy:
It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike; it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we. The repetition in Nature may not be a mere recurrence; it may be a theatrical encore.
