With the risky NASA space operation on Hubble’s telescope completed, I had a  light-bulb moment per se.

We tend to look at ourselves through the lens of a microscope.  God looks at us through a telescope.

I’ve been delving into the lives of the Saints for some spiritual reading.  I started with my confirmation Saint.  Therese of Lisieux (or the Child Jesus, as she is often referred).  As a Doctor of the Church, she is a powerhouse of information, inspiration and admiration.  She had the gift knowing the Lord at a very young age.  Her parents (Blessed’s in the Church) were instrumental in her development.  Spending time getting to know St. Therese has been like looking through a telescope.  A prayer card or Novena just doesn’t do her or any Saint justice.  That being said, it was through prayer cards that I saw the microscope version of her life and yearn to learn more about her. 

God sees us through the lens of His telescope.  In order to get the whole picture of us  whom He created, He must use the telescope.  He uses that information to guide us when we knock on  His door to seek advise.  God promises that when we knock it will be answered; when we seek, we will find; and when we ask it will be received. 

As I write this I am sitting on my deck enjoying the songs of the birds.  The day is more beautiful than I imagined.  The little boys next door are playing with Bosco and Sophie is snoozing on the deck.  The blue sky and slight breeze make days like this God given. 

When I was a little girl I played a game when I couldn’t sleep or got scared at night.  I would imagine myself in  the corner of the celiling lookikng down at myself.  I used my minds eye to view my life from God view.   Today I wonder what He thinks as he looks down with such a clear view.
