the Finding The wonder of God is very easily found with butterfly on finger. A bit more difficult is finding that wonder changing a flat tire. The joy of God is very easily found holding babe in arms. A bit more challenging is finding that joy laying in hospital bed. The love of God is very easily found embraced by loved one. A bit more desperate is finding that love if the loved one is lost. The peace of God is very easily found as life is rewarding. A bit more relevant is finding that peace when life is the enemy. When with life is war the world seems utterly dark dear friends have betrayed... The finding of our Fathers joy, love and His peace is a wonderful wonder. ~~~~~~~~~~  |

Very wise and true Tramp, but the wonder of God is there even in the worst of times and that is when we must look the hardest. "He never promised us a rose garden." Somebody else said that but it is true. Joyce |

  (big hugggsssssss) Oh Daniel, this is wonderful, sweet friend, yes, for everything there is a contradiction but on both ends there is a beginning and He will guide us through both light and darkness, as He will always be on the brim of our hearts like a butterfly resting on a rose! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is wonderful, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Daniel, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

very true - and true in the mundane, which is often the most important way. too often, we only pray when we want something, or when things are really good - it's the times when things are just ok that we need to pray as well. changing a tire isn't warfare (although sometimes it can feel like it) but it can sure throw off your stride for a while, and in all your examples you are exactly right - it's sometimes hard to see that god is with us there, too. great write. -Dave |

Daniel~ 'The wonder of God is very easily found with butterfly on finger.' When the day is a little rocky ... I go 'to the meadow' and extend my finger in hopes of a butterfly landing~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
