I saw God today

I had the pleasure of being blessed with a wonderful day at work! I teamed up with a colleague to try to get some new "accounts" for the non-profit organization that we work for. We took a drive east and visited the great little towns that nobody knows about that are just hiding in the mountains, not wanting to be discovered. Also hiding in these small towns are some people with VERY big hearts. They are willing to do anything they can and give anything they have to take care of their neighbors. They make the time to sit and talk with you, knowing that in the end you are going to want something from them. Because that's what they want...another opportunity to help.



I am so grateful for the opportunity to meet, work and LEARN from so many generous and caring people. These are the types that motivate me and remind me daily that our mission, and my part in it, is worthwhile. They are a living example of the kind of person that God wants me to be.



Then there were the views that only God could have created. As we drove the winding back roads from town to town, we would almost hold our breath, waiting for the view that would be revealed through the break in the trees ahead. The green, leafy, tree-covered mountains of Daniel Boone National Forest extended as far as the eye could see...God's country.



We rounded another curve and felt the temperature drop as we descended into the valley. We were shaded by the exposed rock face that reminded us that just a couple of decades earlier this road wasn't here. We could feel a slight rise in humidity and smell the freshness of the water that was still running down the side of the mountain after the intermittent rain that we have been cursing for over a week. We were reminded that these views and this amazing sensory experience would not be near what it was had we not received the gift of plentiful spring rain.

Absolutely divine...I saw Him today. I saw Him everywhere.
