Did you notice it?

As we drove down a road that was familiar to us, very familiar...we engaged in small talk. I still remember this conversation as if it were yesterday...

Me: Wow, They finished the building!
Her: Yeah, they worked hard.
Me: Yes they did.
Her: They did nice work! Who did it?
Me: People, people who learned how to design buildings and people who learned how to construct them.
Her: Who made these houses?
Me: People, men and women who learned how to make houses.
Her: What did they make it with?
Me: They used machines, tools and other supplies like wood.
Her: Did the people make the wood.
Me: No, they cut it down from trees and shaped it.
Her: Who made the trees?
Me: God
Her: Who made the grass?
Me: God
Her: Who made the people?
Me: God
Her: God does hard work.
Me: Yes he does.
Her: silence.......(couple of long seconds later) God does beautiful work!
Me: Yes he does, you are very observant.
Her: What's that?
Me: Means that you notice everything.
Her: God made it beautiful for me to notice it, right?
Me: Yes, I love you.
Her: I love you more.
