God's Touch

Sometimes the sun causes me weariness but not today. After 3 days of outrageous storm, the sun shines out her graceful rays and causes my heart to sing.

At my first waking hour, her orange swelling ring slowly glided up the horizon to greet me.

When I walked to my workplace, she kept me company giving me the warm morning touch.

After lunch, as I carried a cup of cold Sprite on one hand and a bag of snacks in the other, her blazing power caused me to sweat, reminding me of the summer beach.

When I eventually got home, all tired and discouraged, the last golden beam turned her face to me saying goodnight...you've done well...go to sleep and rest.

Simple things like these are the message of love from God to me. They are not to be ignored but appreciated. A lot of times when life gets hectic, I tend to overlook these miracles.

God is calling for your attention. Do you hear the whisper of the wind? Do you feel the loving hug in the cloak of moon-lit night? Do you see God...smiling in your son's joyful face?

Jesus is everywhere. And His peace, which transcends all understanding, is for me...and for you.
