The Face of God
The thing about God’s light
It can show up in an unexpected place
A flower growing out of a sidewalk
Or in the innocence of a child’s face
It can show up out of nowhere
Like in the breaking dawn
You hear it in the chirp of birds
Or the first steps of a fawn
You can hear Our Creators light
In the laughter of a child
It’s His way of reminding us
That life is certainly worthwhile
I have heard God’s light
In my sorrow…yes even in my grief
It steals away my sadness
Like a most welcome thief
It’s His way of showing us
That we are never alone
By giving us the proof of life
And how it does go on
What love a father shows
When He wipes aside a tear
And warms us without a single touch
But the knowledge he is near
He shows the balance of His love
Because even in the heart break of death
He reminds us life goes on
As we watch a newborn take the first breath
It’s hard to remain bitter
When the most beautiful sounds
Can be experienced flying over head
Or walking all around
Have you ever sat on a park bench
And just listened to children play
Not worrying what tomorrow brings
Living only for today
I believe this is the true message
That only love of God can bring
He who has the gentleness of a lamb
The royalty of Our King
So when the day gets heavy
As we all know that it can
Smile at the adversity
Relying on the word of no man
I tell you love each other often
I say smiling with a nod
Because when you love one another
You are loving the face of God
“Because when you love one another
You are loving the face of God”

Thank you. And although it sounds like habit, I truly do mean it when I say, “And peace be unto you as well.”

One of my favorite ways to start the day is, when walking the dogs, noticing the little ways that God manifests in nature. We have so much for which to be grateful.
I know…some of the simplest things…mean the most….like hearing the early morning sounds of nature
