(57,936 posts)When I think of people I love. When I think of the miracle of the existence of the universe. And many, many other times.
The other day, a small squirrel was playing within less than a foot of me totally ignoring my presence. I stood there laughing when suddenly, out of nowhere, a slightly larger squirrel appeared, seemed to jump down from somewhere, put its nose right on the little bottom of the smaller squirrel and started pushing and nudging. Both squirrels scurried away. I had to laugh. I felt God's presence in the attention the of the larger squirrel to the smaller one. It was so funny. There was some sort of glow that comes from caring even when it isn't human caring.
What I am trying to say is that I feel God's presence when I feel harmony in the universe and that is often present when two beings acknowledge each other with respect and love and sort of take care of each other. That is similar to the feeling you might have when you are serving communion.
