I have been thinking for some time now what I should bring to the service at church this week. We are instructed to pick an item which expresses what God has done in our lives during the past year, and bring it to church. We will have the opportunity to explain our choice if we so desire. I have thought and thought about the question not because I couldn't find an answer but because I found too many answers. I sometimes think I am blessed with God vision. No matter what happens I seem to step back and look for God's hand in what is going on. In almost every situation, both the good ones and the bad, I can usually see what God was doing. Often I can't find it right away, I need to watch it evolve through time to see that God was present. I'm not saying that God creates the situations, often we are very adept at that ourselves, but rather that God does not abandon us even in our self created misery. The item I picked for tomorrow is the geode on the table. A young man from Hong Kong gave me this unique geode when I helped him come to this country for school. His grandmother is very dear to me and was to Marsha. This geode has a bubble inside floating in trapped water. I think it a very appropriate for the most important way God has been working in my life. Perhaps after I tell the church I might even tell you.
