God's presence

At what points in our lives do we feel God?

There are various points within my day I pray. But that doesn't necessarily mean I feel God's presence. My spiritual director says those moments are purely acts of love.

But how often, especially outside of prayer, do I feel God's presence? On my best days I try to see Him in all things, from the conversation with the co-worker who always seems depressed, the sound of the wind blowing through the trees, my dogs bum-rushing me as I enter the door after a long day at work. He is everywhere and is in everything we experience. Our challenge is to recognize that.

So here I am, knowing that, but yet not feeling it always. Knowing is much easier than being.
