YOU can see GOD!!!!!

Hello to all, I must say I have missed each of you and have so desperately missed blogging. I may have been away from my blog but never away from my spirit or faith....As many of you know we have been through a very bad time, the struggle from day to day has been very taxing, very scary, and at times just down right hard to get through...but we are hanging in there trusting in a miracle from our Father in heaven and knowing he will carry us through this time in our lives. 

In prayer this evening as I sat here in the silence I thanked God for getting us to this point in life, it is not the point I would like to be at but I believe in his promises that he will never leave nor forsake me. Father we are holding fast to our faith and are believing in you, we ask you to help us find a way to secure a place to live and to understand why we had to lose what we had and start again. Father bless us with finances to get into the apartment that we have found so that the two of us and our 4 legged babes can have peace and calm. Father I ask you to bless each of those who have lifted our very names in prayer, who have offered support and uplift. I also ask Father that you lay hands upon those who are struggling with health, especially a man who is very special to me that the blood clots in his legs disappear and that he regain his strength, God you brought him out of the clasp of death and I know his job here on earth is not over, bless him and his sweet wife with strength and comfort. I ask that you bless each of the ones reading this tonight with their needs and that you allow them to feel the love and the joy that they bring to you and I ask these mercies, graces and blessings in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

You Can See God

I sat at my desk staring at the letter for a long time. It was written by a friend of mine who was going through some difficult times. It listed problem after problem and seemed full of despair. It ended with these words: "I would like to have faith, but I have always had a problem in believing in what I can’t see. You can’t see God, you know!" 

After awhile I still hadn’t thought of how to answer my friend’s letter and help him. Hoping a walk would help, I put a lease on one of my dogs and headed out the back door. The warm, golden sunshine of Spring warmed my face as soon as I stepped off the porch. A fresh breeze carried the scent of a thousand budding trees on it. A butterfly danced above a patch of dandelions floating from flower to flower. Robins were flying back and forth to the Maple tree in my backyard carrying fresh grass and twigs to reline their nests. Across the road my new neighbor’s children were playing in her backyard with a big ball. It was such a delight seeing her toddler chasing after it with such joy. 

I felt a nuzzle against my leg and looked down to see my dog cuddling in for a hug. I smiled and scratched his head while the laughter of the children and the sound of crickets in the woods blended together to create a unique and beautiful music. I started to walk back inside and saw my own son grinning at me from the window. Most of the world could only see his mental handicaps, but when I looked at him then his eyes sparkled with a divine light. I waved to him and laughed when his older sister snuck up behind him and wrapped him in a loving hug. 

When I got back inside, I knew what to write. I went to my friend’s letter and wrote of everything I had just seen, smelled, heard, and felt in those brief moments outside. Then I finished by writing this:

"I think we all can see God!  We just need to know where to look!"
