I was proud of our confirmands today who presented a program, Glimpses of God. They were invited to take photos of the places, spaces, and faces where they experienced God in their daily lives. Our prayer for them was that as their faith matures and grows, they always remember to look up and look around, with open hearts and ears and mind, as to where they might see God.
Then we threaded them together in a PowerPoint and presented it to the congregation. It was a collective gift to the congregation. It was not only the photos they took, but the story they told of the photo and where they saw God within it. A rainbow, reminding us of how God’s paintbrush can make things beautiful and how beauty can happen, even after a storm. A piece of art, where the artist finds comfort in sensing God’s presence, helping shape the piece. Nature, whether fishing, hunting, or just being outdoors connects this confirmand to God, our Creator.
Where have you seen a glimpse of God today?
