A God glimmer I have always loved to see the snow or ice sparkle like gems or diamonds. And this morning was no different when i looked out on our deck. I took a still picture to capture the beauty , but it didn’t show the sparkle at all. It was odd....So I took this video that shows the sunlight reflecting beautifully off the ice crystals on the deck seat and railing. I wanted to share this beauty with you all. I also want you to notice that as I filmed this, various area...s and ice chips caught the sun and sparkles at different times as I moved around. I felt Papa God telling me, this is for you, as he winked at me knowing how much I loved seeing this as a little girl. When I was little and walking home from the bus stop , I loved the glimmer of the ice sparkles and in my young make believe mind, I would pretend that I was a movie star and people were taking my picture on the red carpet or that I was walking on a deserted island beach where there were gems all around me as far as the eye could see. It always made me feel very special and unique and thrilled my soul from the beauty. That feeling of being special and loved came back to me today as God gave me this gift that he knew had touched me in the past. I firmly feel that we , each one of us on this earth. are ALL unique and loved by our creator and Heavenly Father. We all are precious (gems) in His sight. That means EVERYONE even those that exasperate us or who we might see as evil. (and there may be many in that category in your minds right now). I want to remind you that HE SEES what he planted inside of each and every one of us that gives us each tremendous potential to change the world for His goodness and kingdom with our own individual sparkle. Please take the time to see the sparkle in this world that God has placed there just for you to enjoy today. (Whatever it is for you) and thank Him for His love. AND especially see the sparkle that God has planted in ALL those around you. Thank God for them and pour God’s love out upon them as He has commanded. For it is His light in and on them that brings out that beautiful sparkle. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all you soul, with all your mind and with all your strength AND love your neighbor as yourself. There is no greater commandment than these. Mark 12:30-31

Don’t get weary and keep the faith loving your brother and sister that the Lord puts before you.
