Shekhinah – The Holy Presence of God, The Glory, The Spirit. Attendance - that can be felt, tasted, heard, smelt, and seen. Oh, how glorious is God - that indwells our very souls. What a magnificent interaction of Spirit and body.
Samuel and Mattie love to help. They love to be involved. They love to be needed. Being Spring, we recently began the cultivation of our garden. And in this process, Kaisha and I decided to allow the kids to plant seeds of their own. We where advised of the fast germination of radishes to reveal quick growth to children. Great advice! No more than 4 days after we first submersed the seeds into soil did we have some action.
With honor, we witnessed small shoots of green reach into the air attempting escape from the very dirt in which their roots and fruit will soon be immersed. This miracle of life echoed back it's immense power and complex beauty with broad smiles and mischievous giggles.
This breathtaking observance of God reaching in and touching my children was made ever richer by their own reply.
Their relationship with eternity has already begun.
Joy puddles under my eyes.
Brilliance of life seeps into every moment - as if to whisper the very essence of the Divine.

Joy is puddling now in my eyes.
Oh Lord, only with You can we show these children that you are everywhere and in everything.
Thank you for giving us Samuel and Mattie so that we may give them back to You.
