Do you see?

Hey girl....hope your day was filled with His presence!
And that that presence brought a smile to your face.

Today was a hiking and fishing day.
We were supposed to do a ten mile hike but SIL got sick... so the fishing crew won out.
We took a small hike back in to the land of no habitation (well animals live there)....after a long drive that made me glad no one was coming in the other direction.

It was so quiet....the only things heard were the birds and the rush of the river we were walking along side.

I spent a little time trying to catch invisible fish and then gave up and pulled out my camera. There were butterflies everywhere......but I could not seem to move fast enough to get one in flight.
So I asked God to give me one that would sit still long enough to capture it.Did you see it?

It was so tiny...but it stayed in one place long enough for me to take about 4 or 5 pictures.
What detail......hidden from most eyes.
Then I moved on down the trial following Keith and his fly rod.
He was fishing for invisible fish too. :)
And then I saw it.
A bush with the most delicate flowers. I have never seen anything like it before. The flowers looked as if someone had air brushed the most delicate pink on wedding white.
I spent some time flipping the buttons on my camera so that I was able to capture their beauty.

I am sure that someone knows what these are.......but the creativity of God just hit me.
And that He would put these out in the middle of no where.......it just boggles my mind.
These creeks are not available by road. You must go out of your way in order to get to them.
And I am sure that most of those ducking through trees and stepping over- over flowing streams
probably are so glad once they get creek side....that they miss the beauty God put there so inconspicuously.

I thought how sad it was that something that God touched with His creativity- should be missed by anyone. That is the hand of God in action.
I was sharing these with a friend on flickr and shared my thoughts with her.
She then said something really insightful.
Her comment was about the people around us all the time
who are indeed one of God's greatest creations......and yet they live life feeling unseen.
And sometimes they are unseen.
I have felt like that at different times in my life....I am sure that some of you have too.
But what I want you to know.....if you don't....you are seen.
You are in the eyes of God who is watching over His beautiful creation.
He has the hairs on our heads numbered. Above all.....I want you to know that you are worthy to been noticed by all. You are His loving creation. If you are battling this unseen loneliness right now.....I am sorry. I could tell you I see.....but it will not mean near as much to you as it would if He shows you that He sees you right where you are.
Ask Him to show you.
He tells us that we have not because we don't ask. None of our request are silly to Him.
He is love....... and He is tender hearted toward us.
If He cares so tenderly for the flowers above...how much more does He care for you?
He breathed His very life into you.
You live because HE IS!
Have a great weekend.
And don't forget to look for the unseen.
He is faithful!
