Can You See Him

By

I just love the slower pace of Saturday mornings. Nothing demanding my attention so I can walk at leisure with the need to rush home. This morning I walked passed the pond again. And as always it drew me in. Some how on Saturdays I see the things I failed to see all week  long.

I see the wonder of His creation.

I see the hand of the architect in the billowy cotton-white colored clouds.

I see His paintbrush streaked across the sky in the brightest of blues.

I see glimpses of His light as I squint my eyes toward the awakening sun.

I feel His breath as the wind gently breezes by.

I see His hands stirring the waters. Oh yes the ripples speak of His activity.

Ripples Speak

I see His tender loving care of the beautiful flowers that bloom.

I see evidence of what it means to be planted my the living waters—the foliage so lush and green.

As I behold Him this day, I pray for fresh new eyes to see ever more of Him and His handiwork.  Cast away my blindness that I may see in the ordinary all around.

When I see Him my ears can’t help but be attuned to His voice. I hear the whisper again to just make a splash. Abandon the need to know, to cast away the desire to see where the ripples go. Pay no attention to whoever is making greater waves, splashing loudly. Simply do as the creatures in the lake– splash with abandon.

    I agree! I want to be a splashy, happy lady focused only on the Lord and His beautiful ways of planting His creation into our eyes and ears so we can’t possibly “forget” Him. YEP! That’s what I want.

      Hi Joanne, now that is a beautiful mission statement. Hope your eyes are full of Him and His creation this week.

    Hi Wanda,
    Always thankful for the weekends! Yes, there are a thousand little things to bless our lives daily and be thankful for. Have you heard Point of Grace’s “A Thousand Little Things”? I just listened to it and it is a wonderful reminder to count our daily blessings. 🙂

    Blessings for a joyous weekend,
    Denise

      Denise, even with my lingering awhile on Saturday, the weekend seem to fly by once again. No I haven’t heard of that song but I’ll be sure to look for it on YouTube.

    Oh, Wanda!

    I might have to steal your Saturday! I haven’t been able to walk through nature in a while….or maybe I have but I haven’t paid attention! I will look at God’s creation the next time I’m out and really saturate myself with His majesty!

      It’s just something about being aside that makes me feel closer to Him but there are evidence of Him all around us. Hope you’ll capture glimpses of Him as you go about your week.

    Wanda, I am so with you on this. When I stroll through my neighborhood on Saturday mornings (also my favorite time), I see so many things that I never pay attention to during the week. Sometimes I just sit on the bench at the lake and watch…the clouds…the water..the trees..the birds; knowing in my spirit that God is working in that moment. How truly amazing is our God.

    I love Saturday mornings. It is a bit refreshing and comforting. Sometimes, I wish that I have a screened in back porch so that I can take in more of God’s ambiance without getting bit by mosquitoes every couple of mintues.
