…and we have seen his
glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, John 1:14 (ESV)
John tells us the people saw the Glory of Jesus that could
only come from God the Father.
I once heard a former teacher say, “We have precious things
happen in our lives that we can’t explain. These are things from God. Once we
can explain them, they no longer seem as precious.” I sometimes feel this way
when I hear of stories of what God is doing in the lives of His children.
Do we see God’s glory in our world today? Of course, we do. When we see a newborn baby’s
smile, when we see a sunrise or a sunset, we witness God’s glory in ways that
are so marvelous we can only stop and look in wonder.
When we see God working in the lives of those around us, we witness a special view of His glory
for His children.
Some friends and I have what we call God moments in our
lives. One year the VBS theme was nautical. The director called those moments “God
sightings.” I am going to call those moments ‘Glory Sightings’ at least until
the New Year begins.
I am taking a break to try to finish preparing our home for
Christmas and with the hope of spending extra time with our son. I will return
here on January 2, 2019. (That’s my plan.)
