- Air conditioning
- A quiet morning
- The shiver of God
- Colorful veggies and fruit
Hmmmm. I just wanted to list a few things I was thankful for and that ‘the shiver of God’ is sticking with me and I couldn’t really write anything else… well, except “colorful veggies and fruit.”
The shiver of God…
It’s a cold-hot chill when His tangible pleasure can be felt. The sense is that glitter bits of heaven have been sprinkled just over head, and they dance around in enjoyment.
It’s truly heaven on earth.
The shiver happens unpredictably. It may be when reading a passage in a book that forms a connection between the temporal and the eternal. I’ve felt it when I watch people do what they were made to do: teach, dance, sing, preach, garden, run, greet, or simply just smile.
The common denominator is that it’s felt (or rather, God’s stamp of pleasure is felt) when there is a connection that brings the mundane day-to-day-ness of daily tasks into the eternal realms of the One Who never sleeps.
What if there was always this connection? What if it wasn’t just a moment from time to time?
What if everything I did and said at every waking moment had those glitter bits of heaven showering down– all. the. time.
God is good.
