He will dwell with them as their God; they will be his peoples,
and God himself will be with them; and God will wipe every tear from their eyes. Revelation 21: 3-4
Someone recently asked me if I really believed this. Do I really believe this? Of course I do! She said the death of a spouse would destroy most people. I thought a lot about that. Was she inferring that I was not grieving "enough" or that my faith was somehow "better" than the faith of others? I don't know.
But I do know this. On those days when life seems glum, or overwhelming, or simply dull, God usually pokes me in the ribs. Did you see that milkweed pod? Listen; there are sandhill cranes flying overhead! Who called you today? Is that the necklace Jean made for you? Did you see the card Gary sent you last year? It's on his bureau.
And then I remember. The home of God is among us.
All we have to do is pay attention.
