Concord Pastor Apr 25, 2020 at 1:37 AM Photo by CPPhilosophers and theologians study, write and speakof "proof for the existence of God" but my proof of your being, Lord,is simpler and much less academic... April's flowering trees are proof enough for me that you exist,each blossom a telling witness of your eternal nature... You bring all trees back to life each spring,dressing their barren branches in shades of greenlavish, dense, lush and abundant but then with extravagant divinityyou select some, not all, and generously grace them,adorning their leafy arms with blossomswhite, gold, lilac, red and lavender... That's just one of my proofs for your existence, Lord,a seasonal one for sure, but then there's also: artichokes and full moons; a baby's reaching hand; every kind of music; understanding and compassion; long and loving hugs; imagination's endless scope; Jesus and his gospel; the gift of human language; wine and cheese and bread; faith that's prayed and shared; the capacity to learn and know; hope in hopeless moments; unexpected friendship; mercy undeserved; the written, printed word; a passion for the truth; bare skin warmed by sunlight; intuition, thoughts and hunches; unconditional, selfless love; butterscotch and chocolate; sweet memories of the past; gentleness and kindness; and on and on and on... All these, my simple proofs, Lord,my proofs of your existencerooted in my everyday, my ordinary life,proof, for sure, that I am yoursand you're my Lord and God...
