Dear Lord; Happy Saturday Father!
I love those moments Lord,
When in the throes of our lives,
You announce Your presence.
Some see coincidence,
Some call it luck,
And yet,
I want see to them for what they are;
“God Moments”:
When just the right song plays on the radio, as if on cue…
While during a moment of self-doubt, a reassuring text message reminds us that we’re loved…
When the bills are due with no relief in sight, and yet somehow, the money shows up…
And while in the midst of our private pain, a quiet voice reminds us we’re Your Beloved.
So many times however Father,
I’ve missed the forest for the trees;
Seeing only frustration,
And struggle,
And pain.
Not viewing with eyes of faith and trust,
But instead through the world’s narrow lens.
Open my eyes Lord,
Open my heart.
Help me recognize Your hand
In every situation;
Not just those that make me smile.
For when I’m able to discern Your light
In everything around me,
Life itself
Becomes a “God Moment”. 🙂
Amen.

Hi, I’m Phil Malmstrom, a.k.a. Phather Phil. I’m self-employed, father of two wonderful young men, an ordained minister who delights in spreading Jesus’ Message of Hope and Love, a science-fiction junkie, an aspiring photographer and above all that one of God’s Children who rejoices in His Blessings each day. 
We can easily overlook those God moments or take them for granted. But we need to see them for what they really God – God trying to get our attention and remind us of how much He truly loves us. I want my eyes to be open to notice His hand at work in all areas in my life. He shows His love everyday, I just don’t always see it.
Love this post, Phil! It came straight from your heart and it’s really beautiful. 🙂
Beautiful, Phil! God puts His thumbprint in our day, we just have to be open and ready to see it.
Wonderful post. Speaks to what my family went through the past few weeks. As I wrote about in my last post, we did not see how God was working in or child’s sickness until the real storm came. And now, you would never know how sick she was, how close she should have been to death, by looking at her now. God is good to us, even if we forget that He is there.
Life itself becomes a God moment. – love that sentence. wow. My prayer too.
Great truth expressed in such beauty. Thank you, Phil!
Blessings!

Awesome words. We can walk continually in His moments when we celebrate every breath we take.
Thank you for sharing our human experience.
“Life itself becomes a God moment.” So true, Phil. Now to just remember this when the day threatens to get insane!
