Parable of the Punch Buggy

As a child I played a game where we would hit each other if we were driving down the road and we say a v-w bug. Recently I was spending time with children and began playing the game again. At first I missed them, but soon with practice I began to notice them everywhere around me. Suddenly it was as though there at least one on every street, and often more. I think that spotting those punch buggies is like noticing the hand of God in our lives. At first when we look we might miss them often. But, with practice we become trained and soon we see them more and more until suddenly we get a glimpse of just how often God's hand is touching out lives.
As I have tried to open my eyes it has become more and more apparent just what an active role my Heavenly Father plays in my life. I know that He is there watching, helping, and loving us always. I am thankful for His constant guidance, protection, and direction in my life!
