I cannot imaging anyone looking at the sky and denying God. — Abraham Lincoln. ..
.God knows exactly where you are...try not to blink...try hold your breath for any period of time ...yes He knows every hair on your head..every breath you take & every blink of the eyes....He knows...He allows.........that is why we are never alone..what a comforting truth.
I sat in church Sunday and listened to the sermon about how we become very complacent , very comfortable and miss this nearness of our God. We are a busy people ..........so much involved in the world that surrounds us.
I drove to the office this morning on a tree lined street & God moment thoughts flooded my brain.The God moment when I felt my baby daughter growing inside me...then holding her for the first time..now that's a God moment..and what a gift.
The first time I held my new baby grandsons ...looked into their beautiful newborn faces & understood what I have heard "When you look into a child face you see the face of God"...truly a God moment. Many happy God moments came to mind...some sad...very sad...but God was there and I was where I had to be..
..there was the day......when
I was called to list a home. I sat across the table from a very fragile, gentle, soft spoken man. His wife left the room to find the survey to the property, this elderly man whispers to me " June, will you see my wife through the sale of my home..you see I have a brain tumor and I am dying. I may not make it" I did.........but he never made it........
I Never think about God Moments that I don't remember Betty at the nursing home...what a series of God moments that was ....Blog about it sometime back ...Strawberry Milkshake...a new awareness of how lonely loneliness really is
My God moment when I held my dad's hand then my husbands hand as they were being taken to their heavenly home. My God moment came when my mom suddenly threw a blot clot & died after surgery and I could not pray...I could NOT pray...but my God moment was that God knew my pain and touched me with his peace & acceptance.
At the cemetery days later...the hymn " All is well with my soul "came out of no where softly from a car radio ..God letting me know my mom was OK..no we are never alone..not ever..again,....what a comforting truth
All these God moments...some happy...some sad ...but non the less they are moments that awakes you to God power, His gifts, His love. His Goodness and His Nearness.
I had just attended spiritual workshop and somehow ended up on a involuntary 3 day fast...just could not eat......nothing.at all I did not know what was happening.
My husband and I planned this trip after the workshop. I was parked in my car waiting for him to come out of a store. There happened to be a grove of trees next to the building as I sat there the strangest thing happened....I closed my eyes to rest them & when I opened them......the leaves on the trees were magnified. The trees were at least a couple car lengths away...but I could see these leaves on the trees as though looking through powerful zoom lens. The veins of the leaves were predominate....every vein..the trees were so beautiful..believe me I questioned my sanity.
My husband came out of the store & we continued our trip. It was a beautiful summer day...to drive through the mountains...again...My God moment..
The clouds were so close to the car I think if you would climb to the top of a ladder you could touch them. I looked at my husband to see if he noticed how close to earth the clouds were but he with his " Rascal Flats " voice was singing along with the radio.. I said nothing just enjoyed my God moment His singing & those magnificent clouds...I have always said even the trees give glory to God . Their branches stretch high to the heaven...except for the weeping willow...no doubt why it is weeping
.I have shared this story with only a few people & why I am sharing it now...is beyond me..maybe it is to give hope to someone who needs it...maybe it is to give fill the void in some ones life that no one cares ...someone cares ...you are never alone. God has promised that we would never be alone or forsaken ....... look for those God moments ..
