Can you see God?

Lately, my daughter has been talking about “seeing” God.  She says that you can’t see God because God is love and you can’t see love.  To her 5-year old literal mind, seeing God means literally seeing an old man in a beard or an old woman in a crocheted shawl…

I think you *can* see God — yes, God is love - -but also beauty…  Here is when I see God…

• When my daughter smiles
• Seeing the sunset from my deck (I take time out every night to stand out on my deck each night, and breathe.  I consider it my daily prayer.
• When someone does something very nice to help someone else
• When I look at the flowers and the trees
• When sunlight shines through the clouds.

Of course, this list could go on forever… because God is everywhere, always creating things to delight our sprits…
