I Saw God Today

**Bonus Blog Tuesday!** An extra post - -
I heard this song and the lyrics are so thought provoking and true, I thought I'd share. It's called "I Saw God Today" By George Straight. Click to view the video, and the words are printed below. Enjoy!
And look for God today!




Just walked down the street to the coffee shop
Had to take a break I'd been by her side for 18 hours straight
Saw a flower growin' in the middle of the sidewalk
Pushin' up through the concrete Like it was planted right there for me to see
The flashin' lights The honkin' horns All seemed to fade away
In the shadow of that hospital at 5:08
I saw God today
I've been to church I've read the book
I know he's here But I don't look Near as often as I should
Yeah, I know I should His fingerprints are everywhere
I just slowed down to stop and stare
Opened my eyes and man I swear I saw God today
Saw a couple walkin' by they were holdin' hands
Man she had that glow
Yeah I couldn't help but notice she was startin' to show
Stood there for a minute takin' in the sky
Lost in that sunset
Splash of amber melted in the shades of red
I've been to church I've read the book
I know he's here But I don't look Near as often as I should
Yeah, I know I should His fingerprints are everywhere
I just slowed down to stop and stare
Opened my eyes and man I swear I saw God today
Got my face pressed up against the nursery glass
She's sleepin' like a rock My name on her wrist
Wearin' tiny pink socks
She's got my nose, she's got her mama's eyes
My brand new baby girl She's a miracle
I saw God today

Thank you. I needed this as I woke up this morning and my initial thought was, "oh boy...another RAINY day." My perspective has since changed since reading this post as it's another rainy day...from God.
I have loved that song since the first time I heard it...gets me everytime.
Thanks Kelly!

Thank you Kelly. I needed that. Quite often I don't take the time to watch videos people may send or recommend. I'm glad I remembered to "shut up and listen".
