Kissed By God

I took a walk this cool morning along our streets which are tree-lined and old-house-lined, too.

I was enjoying the shade, the quiet and thanking God for it all when whack! A leaf swooped down and brushed my cheek.

It was sudden. Sweet. It took me by surprise and stung a tiny bit and was, for a second, overwhelming.

I thought, "I've been kissed by a leaf."

Then I thought, "Or maybe I was kissed by God."

When you spend every day with God, you see Him in odd places and gasp! There you stand, looking around at all the folks who are just passing Him by, people with unopened eyes. 

And you long for them to see Him, also.
