Finding God in us – Today I came across a really beautiful story. My intention was to write about Elephants 🙂
But I leave it for next time because this is a heartwarming story, and I thought my comment authors might like it.
Did we not all experience a time when we felt the god within? Often, it does not need much; it can be a smile, a chat, or kindness.
A little gift, like my Grandkids, did write me a letter in summer a “thank you,” or paint a picture for us and are happy
if we like it and praise them. It does not need much.
Here is the story of an old man and a boy, both searching and looking for god and they found him in a park 🙂
Finding God In The Park
Abe was fiercely independent, even at age 85, but after a mild stroke, his son insisted he move in with him. Abe missed going to the park near his old apartment, and one Saturday, he set out to find it.
When he became disoriented, he asked a young boy named Timmy where the park was. Timmy said he’d like to take him there, but he didn’t have time because he was looking for God. He said he needed to talk to Him about why his parents were getting a divorce.
“Maybe God’s in the park,” the old man said. “I’d like to talk to Him, too, about why He’s made me useless.” And so they set off together to find God.
At the park, Timmy began to cry about the divorce, and Abe lovingly held his face in both hands and looked him straight in the eyes. “Timmy, I don’t know why bad things happen, but I know it wasn’t because of you. I know you’re a good boy, and your parents love you, and you’ll be okay.”
Timmy gave Abe a big hug and said, “I’m so glad I met you. Thanks. I think I can go now.”
From across the street, Timmy’s mother saw them hug and approached her son in a worried voice. “Who was that old man?”
“I think he’s God,” Timmy said.
“Did he say that?” she demanded.
“No, but when he touched me and told me I’m going to be okay, I felt really better. Only God can do that.”
When Abe got home, his son asked in a scolding voice, “Where were you?”
“I was in the park with God.”
“Really? What makes you think you were with God?”
“Because He sent me a boy who needed me, and when the boy hugged me, I felt God telling me I wasn’t useless anymore.”

I hope you liked the story. Is it not beautiful how these two found god in each
Is it not beautiful how these two found god in each other?
Thanks to my comment authors. I appreciate your visits and comments on my blog.
This is such a great post!
Something which is overlooked also.
Finding God around us can be as difficult as we make it!
Thank you for this uplifting article 🙂
Hi Matt,
nice to see you here:)
You are right finding the god in us and
around us needs awareness and it is sometimes
difficult to remember that he is not far 🙂
But if we do ,everything is getting more easy.
Thank you
Erika
Hi Erika Ma’am 🙂
I agree with the title God is in us. He is inside us!
All the GOD’s creations force us to think the creator of this universe – The God.

Comment Authors and visitors will like it. It is
a good reminder to look for god and realize him
in a situation like this two had and it will get easier.

Hi Erika
Such a beautiful story. Absolutely, God is in us. We don’t have to look beyond our own self to find Him. He lives in our heart. It’s funny that the man thought he could find God in the park. But then again, when we look at the trees, branches, birds, flowers and the grass that we come across in the park, one can behold threough their eyes the beauty of all His creation. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day!

Hi Yvonne,
right wherever we look we can find the creator,
if we look with awareness. I think the old man was
not really looking for god, he learned it from the
little boy,he was looking for god. The old one may
have forgotten that god is everywhere. He got a good
lesson from this kid and a new experience of god.
Thank you for your comment,have a nice weekend
Erika

Erika,
This brought tears to my eyes. I had been all caught up with internet stuff – things not working right, things taking so much longer than expected, things being frustrating. This story just snapped me out of that state of frustration. So I must have found God here.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful story.
Warmly,
Dr. Erica
Hi Dr. Erica,
maybe he sent you here to make you feel better ? 🙂
I am happy it changed your frustrating feelings to
better.Maybe sometimes in difficult situations we
need to stop and get aware of him, I am sure it helps.
Thank you and I am grateful it made you feel better.

Hi Erika,
Beautiful story. Although I know God is always with me, I still often find myself awe-stricken when I witness an tangible expression of His presence. It can sneak upon me suddenly…I’m always amazed 🙂

Hi Rachel,
yes, sometimes it is miraculous to experience
the presence of the creator around and in us.
Good to be conscious of it and be grateful for
it. It is really a beautiful story.
Thank you for your comment
May you be blessed
Erika
Hi Erika,
What a wonderful story that illustrates that God is in us and all around us. I know God is always with me and I do ask God every day before I do ANYTHING, to guide me through the day. Sometimes God speaks to me through others, or I’m struck with awe just looking outside my window at the sky. Indeed, God is everywhere and all we have to do is acknowledge that.
Thank you for this wonderful break in my day to be grateful.

Hi Donna,
I think it is a blessing by itself to be aware if
this,to be able to see the wonder of creation.
it makes me sad to see people in negativity and
stress,not knowing that it takes only to open
the eyes and heart to see and feel the wonder.
If we need answers they come often without effort.
With feeling of gratitude,thank you,stay blessed
Erika

Hi Erika,
What a lovely story. I’m so glad you shared it with us all.
Sometimes we look for God and not sure where to find Him – this shows that perhaps we’re looking in the wrong places.
I’m just packing up blogging etc for the day, so what a lovely way to end it. Thanks 🙂

Hi Joy,
yes, it seems we do not have to look
in places to connect with our creator,
he is not far.
I am happy you had a pleasant end of the day.

Hi Erika,
I enjoyed your post. I also liked the pic of the old man and the child.
Made me think of my husband and grandchild.
God is in everything and every person. he is everywhere.
I loved the story of finding God in another.

I liked the picture too, you are right

Let’s keep finding god in everything.

Hi Erika,
Great read. I enjoyed it very much. I always thought that Bruce Lee was a Buddhist, make me wonder.
Hi Alicia,
I am glad you liked reading the story 🙂 Bruce Lee was a spiritual human being ,often we put
names of religions like Buddhism or Hinduism,maybe he followed Buddha and found value in his teachings.
But in reality, all this is not about”isms”, it is about being a spiritual human being.
Thank you for your comment ,good to know you liked the post.
All the best

Hi Erika
What a story! This does show that God wants us to be a light to the World. These two did not realise that God was within them. Thanks for sharing this story. Take Care
Hi Ikechi ,
you are totally right,
this two did not realize that god is within and they are not alone.
Good if we know this ,it feels much better doesn’t it ?
Thank you
Erika
