As with most people I know, my life is a constant whirlwind. My days are filled with household duties, my job, my family, my friends and various other obligations. I sometimes feel overwhelmed by it all. But then, when I make the effort to slow down and notice the beauty of God’s creation, I remember how his presence and peace can so readily sur- round me.

I am blessed to live in a beautiful mountainous place that I enjoy exploring when I hike with my happy, energetic dog. One day, I noticed the moon in the daytime sky – though I had to look carefully to see it.    I started thinking: the moon is always there, whether we can see it or not. So it is with our God who is always here, watching over us, even when we do not particularly feel his presence.

Since that day, I often notice the moon in the daytime sky. It also seems that I see it more often when I’m feeling stressed, worried or sad. This became a reminder for me that God watches over me. It brings me comfort and peace and always makes me smile. Our loving God is here for us all, at this moment and always.

Prayer: Dear God, show us signs of your love today, and help us to see them. Amen

Fantastic! I’m so thrilled by God’s goodness that He has brought about such a wonderful way of communicating His love and Gospel to Deaf people. I’m convinced God will use it to His glory and that it will be an effective means of nurturing Deaf Christians for whom church and the Bible is often difficult. You can be assured of my prayers in asking our Father to use these means to reach Deaf people who would never dream of entering a church building. KS
