What if God talks to us all the time? Not just when we tune in and are praying, but stay with me here…what if God is just always there.
Perhaps God talks to us not just in words, but in actions. I have thought about things I hoped would happen in my life — Gee, I’d like a good yoga studio close to my house, I’d really love the next person I date to bring me flowers because I miss getting flowers, I could use an extra day off this week. And on and on the list goes — I could never even begin to fit it all in here. It starts with something as simple as a good parking spot. Serendipity. God’s language of Love. There She is — bringing good things into our lives, just to make us happy.
What if God is in the trees on the trail where I hike? In the water at the lake where I ride my bike? In the singing birds when I sit on my patio? The wild untamed wilderness I saw in Alaska? The warm beaches and ocean I long for? God’s work of creation is all around us. All of this beauty, just to make us happy.
What if God is an experience? What if God is the Zen I find when I ride my motorcycle? Or the Love I feel when I hold my granddaughters? Or the Happiness bubbles in my chest when I’m getting a really fabulous hug? Gifts of Joy wrapped in everyday paper which weave together a life, just to make us feel whole, loved, and cared for.
