Here

God, suddenly, is no longer 'somewhere out there' as a Being that I need to understand or please, nor is He something that I need to wrap my mind around or search the world for. No, He is right here where my heart is too. He is in this home that I make for my husband, He is in the care that I have for my dying plant(s), He is in the beauty of the paint that I spread on canvas. Here too is He when my pain spills over into hurtful words and here again in the forgiving arms of my beloved husband. Here He is, so close that I cannot separate His heart from mine, and it is in all of these small everyday things where we will become friends, where I will come to know Him.
