God in Chocolate

Tonight I saw God through someone else's eyes- through the tears of joy in her eyes actually.  Sometimes I wish I could be in two places at once.  But since I can't, I'm grateful to have people who share their joys with me.  And, it's such a blessing to work with people who are so excited to share the love of God that it brings tears to their eyes!
So, tonight was trunk or treat for the kids at church.  And, the person in charge was so excited to be sharing the love of God with the kids!  She carved 16 pumpkins to spell out "Jesus is the Light"!  And, even though it was cold and rainy, there were kids everywhere!  The awesome thing was there were so many new kids, kids who hadn't been there in forever, and the consistent "regulars".  And, they all came to the church and heard the pastor share a message with them before they ran around to get candy.  And, it just goes to show that God can be anywhere, in anything- even in chocolate candy!
Speaking of God being anywhere... I am blessed to be able to work at a church doing what I love- hopefully leading youth to God.  But not everyone has the chance to work for a church.  Does that mean they can't lead people to God?  Absolutely not!  Everyone has a chance to share- no matter where they work or what else they do.  It's a matter of being open to experience those moments that is key.  It took me a long time to figure that out. 

1 John 1:7

Common English Bible (CEB)

⁷ But if we live in the light in the same way as he is in the light, we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from every sin
