When you take a good look around, it’s not hard to find God in everyday life.

Where I find God #9
*
*
I try to walk the dog every morning. It’s good for me and she seems pretty disappointed when we aren’t able to. I find it’s just a good way to start the day.
*
I live in a pretty populated area near several schools so early morning traffic is pretty prevalent in these here parts. However, once I get further out on the walking trails, the sounds of suburbia lower to a faint hush. It’s then that the sounds of nature take over. The sounds of woodpeckers doing what woodpeckers do, cardinals chirping, the tops of the trees moving in the wind, turtles splashing off of their logs as I get too close for their comfort, something scurrying in the brush etc… It’s really a whole other world inside of my world. It’s a nice change.
*
When I actually take the time to quit thinking about work etc.. and let myself enjoy it, getting to that area of the walking trails is almost like getting to the destination of a mini-mini-mini vacation. I try to take my time, taking everything in, wishing it could last longer but knowing that just around the corner I will see the neighborhood again. Then the sounds of nature will be drowned out by the sounds of suburbia. And before I know it I’m back home seeing if I missed any calls on my cell, getting dressed and ready for work.
*
But at least for a moment I was able to get away from it all.
*
Even before I was a Christian, whenever I hit this part of the path I always felt a sense of comfort and peace. And now I know where it came from.
*
So Where do YOU find God?
*
I invite you to send me your pictures, videos, links etc… with or without a short post of where you find God. Just e-mail me at me@unlikelychristian.com and I will post it. Who knows, it just might be your story, pic etc… that helps somebody else find God.
