It really is amazing where we find God, or maybe where he find us.
About a year ago I decided to join the era of Facebook. I thought it would be a good way to keep up with and in touch with my scattered family and friends. I was not too surprised at many of the postings about everyone telling the world about what they had for breakfast or the many, many oh so cute things their kids or dogs had done that day. However I was surprised to find how many of my friends and family were friends with God.
I have had a friend for over 30 years who I thought I knew. I thought his major love was football until I began to read his Facebook postings. He posts this over and over again. "Dear God, I wanna take a minute not to ask for anything from you, but simply to say thank you for all I have." Many of his postings are there just to thank God....I now see a whole different side of him, not just the Eagles fan, but also a God fan. I really like that side of him.
My nephew as a teenager was as wild as sea grass. He is in the army now and very proud to defend his country. His posts remind us that he has help defending our Flag...he carries God with him every day.
Those are only two friends who have touched my heart with their love of God, there are many more, and I find it amazing that God has found a way to use a social media to remind us that he is still with us and will use whatever is available to stay in our lives.
Look around, you too many be amazed at where you find God....He is everywhere.
I've been surprised to re-connect with high school friends and see how they love God. I guess we've all changed and grown in the many, many years since high school. :)
ReplyDeleteI find the same thing. It is good to remember that we are not isolated. It is also good to see change in people. It really buids my faith to see what God has done and is doing in the life of others.
