Seeing is believing...

"Jesus said to him, 'Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.'"
John 20:29

I was thinking about this, as I sat outside this morning, and wondered, what have I seen that has helped me believe? God has given us so many signs and wonders...proof of the existence of our Awesome Creator.  Look at the fingers and toes of a newborn, for just one example.  I used to think we, in our time, were the ones Jesus was talking about when he said, "Blessed are those who have not seen, yet have come to believe." But now I see such evidence every day of God's presence. Thomas believed as he saw the wounds of Jesus.  Blessed Mother Teresa saw Jesus in the wounded of Calcutta.  I see Jesus in the folks I meet everyday.  We are not the "unseeing," my Friends.  We encounter Jesus each and everyday in our lives.  We just need to be aware and count ourselves among those who believe through our own seeing.  Love, heidi
