Tonight I had the opportunity to stand in the rain. You notice I said opportunity , not had to. It was a blessing. I loved hearing the rain fall on your coat and hat as you are still and just listen. And the smell of rain one a hot day, I love it.
I stood there for about 10 minutes before I was still enough to really hear the peace and quiet and the rain hitting my jacket, hat, and the sound it makes falling. As I stood there the thought came to me. I wonder what God would like to say to me, but I'm to busy caught up in my problems and worries being to self involved to stop and listen.
So as I stood there I said " here am I Lord" And I did the most amazing thing. I shut up and waited. After a bit I felt God say "I see you". Not the I see you as you're getting trouble and messing up. But like I see you,You the man that you are . I was remembering a time of when I was little I would stand in the area of my Dad when he was talking to other adults, hoping he would see me. And when he did his eyes would smile and krinkle up at the edges. I knew then I was ok my dad had found me in the crowd. His eyes said to me " I See You.
There is a lot lot of my life that I wish had gone better, relationships and circumstances and such. But I do know that God has seen me in the crowd , and the communication that happen between a father and son happened to me in the rain tonight. And my heart is full of peace

P. S. So you know what I did after I wrote this . I went back out in the rain, to spend time with God more.
