Picture Perfect Moments

Wow, today there were two moments that were picture perfect............and I would have done anything to have my camera with me, but I didn't.

The first was coming back from Starbucks with the kids. As we were walking they got a little ahead of me, an adorable little boy from China and the cutest little blonde you ever saw. Two children born on opposite sides of the world, but by GOD's hand brought together........brought together to become family. I can't tell you in that beautiful moment how awesome it was to see GOD. To think so many thoughts, I wish I could put into words what I was feeling then and how it caused me to ponder so many more thoughts. Thoughts bigger than me, than anything at that moment. It was a moment to see the Risen Christ, to see the world, to only imagine how big GOD is and how wonderful a plan HE has for ALL of our lives. It was beautiful is all I can say. At one point they even got further ahead and were walking hand and hand.......oh, how I wish I had my camera to take a picture of those two moments, not to only have that memory of them, but the memory of the thoughts that GOD allowed me to experience right then.

The other moment was as I was driving, I drove by the biggest American flag that I have ever seen. The wind was blowing a storm in, so the sky was an unusual gray color as well. As the flag blew in the air soooo high, it was set against the back drop of the mountains, the majestic Rocky Mountains...........Again, so many thoughts came to my mind. How thankful I was for that American flag that I am sure soooo many of us just take for granted. However, after not seeing it for almost a year........made this seem even more amazing. I met GOD again in this moment.........the thoughts of the country I am from and yet, in awe of how awesome GOD is and the world HE created. I just can't come up with the words that would describe this moment..........I just know that I saw JESUS right then and there.....oh, how I wish I had my camera to have a memory of that moment, to remember my thoughts about GOD and what HE allowed me to feel right then.

I want to share some bits and pieces of 'God Calling' for today in closing: Our Lord, we love Thee and desire to live for Thee in all things....Think of the wonder of revelation still to be seen by those who live with Me. All these hundreds of years, and much of what I said and did is still mystery, much of My Life on Earth is still spiritually unexplored country. Only to the simple and the loving heart that walks with Me can these things be revealed....Look for the loving, the true, the kindly, the brave in the many all around you.

PRAISE JESUS, for these moments today and for speaking.
