Glimpses of God

It's all too easy to forget that God doesn't always show up in "big" ways - most of the time he shows up in little glimpses through the people around me. On my drive home tonight I started to think of the glimpses of God I've seen in the past week - and then sat in awe of how many I could list...

• A random phone call from a friend.
• A voicemail from a friend who said exactly what I needed to hear, even though she didn't even realize why she was making the call.
• A childhood tradition I hold dear to my heart continuing for another year.
• A surprise visit at work from someone who I hadn't seen in almost a year.
• A bottle of my favorite creamer left on my desk with a post-it note of kind words.
• A child cuddling up against you.
• Finding my car cleaned off, by someone who knows how much I dislike that part of winter.
  
• The pure joy of a child.
• Words of guidance, speaking directly into your life in a room full of people.
• A song with the exact words I needed to hear, but didn't want to
• Three friends not answering your call when I needed to talk, forcing me to have a conversation with God instead
• A topic of a simple conversation, convicting me.
• Realizing a friend gets where you are coming from, having been there themselves.
• Discovering my fears are not just mine, but shared with others as well.
