Have you seen God today.


' One day Jesus was praying.....when he had finished one of his disciples said to him.'Lord, teach us to pray.' Luke 11:1
One of the greatest most powerful, most humbling experiences we can have with God is those occasions when we find ourselves and him alone together and he says, 'Here, a gift for you.'
These moments can come in a flash :
When I sight a tree of brilliant autumn colour......and there is just me and God.
or when I the see the fog weaving its way through valley and vineyards .....and there is just me and God.
Gifts from God as he stands right there with you, handing them out one by one .
Gifts that stay with you in memory to bless throughout the day .

I love these gifts. Its like having something special in your pocket, you put your hand in and pull it out again be blessed by God's presence.
'When we are gifted with an awareness of 'God's' presence in prayer we savor the gift.
we let God hold us and carry us, as the sea holds and carries a vessel. (anon)
Grace and peace from the Lord Jesus Christ.
