I read your post and smiled. Seems that happens to us all in many ways, over and over in life.
I'm more of the mindset of some posting earlier that this is one of those things where God's presence is around us, showing us, inviting us ALL THE TIME, but we just are so preoccupied and other-focused, we dont' see.
When YOU choose (and it's always a 'choice') to stop, look and listen, you saw what was already always there... God as an infinite being part of all things at all times!
Even older believers tend to forget and become too busy.
Thanks for slowing my own clock and reminding me...
Keep the Son in your eyes (and heart and ears)
