I Saw God Today

I've just returned home today from a wonderful time of R & R with the family (wife, children, and G-kids). When you think about how much God has blessed you it sometimes becomes overwhelming. During these days I got to build a shed, cut down a tree, mow our retirement property, and go to the Coca-Cola 600 with Chris, my son-in-law. We sweat and worked together in all these events, man it was great. I also played games and went fishing with my grand-kids and daughter (Jenny). I even spent three days enjoying the sun at the beach with my wife (Beth). And if that weren't enough on the way back to PA., I got to see a new grandson who just arrived in the world this past Sunday; Pam and Andy are the proud new parents. As I was driving back home I heard George Strait's song on the radio; I Saw God Today. The song reminded me of seeing little Zachary Scott for the first time. I realized not only was I just seeing a new little baby boy (my grandson) but I was seeing a reflection of our Creator in his life. It should always amaze us that every time God blesses us with a new creation what He is showing us is another reflection of Himself, His love, passion, creativity, and also His desire to give us an eternal relationship with Himself. I was also reminded that all we do to try to change the culture by starting churches is trivial compared to seeing the handiwork of God in and around our lives on a daily basis. God's desire is that we see Him each and everyday. If you haven't see Him today, take the time to look around at His amazing handiwork. It's there, all you have to do is look for it. If you do, I'm pretty sure God will make sure that you see Him today.
