when he taps

there are moments in life when you suddenly take a look around and realize that things are good. that no matter what is taking place, the universe is under control and you love your life.

it happens when you are driving in the car, shopping in the store or sitting at home around the dinner table. for some reason you suddenly think, "i love my husband" or "i love my kids" or "things are good". you don't know where the thought came from, it usually leaves just as soon as it comes or the moment is broken by conversation or other thoughts.

it happens during the tough times when the world seems so messed up. when we feel like we are going to lose. he taps us and suddenly we think, "i'm okay. it's going to be okay."

in those moments, he is tapping us on our shoulder. his spirit is welling up inside of us and we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that we are just fine. things are at peace. everything is going to be okay.

he taps to remind us that he is here. right here where we are and in the midst of everything we do and go through. he is here.

when he taps i hope we remember to respond. to say thanks. to realize that we don't have to know the answer, we don't have to know how to fix it, we don't have to know why the blessings come or why the problems don't seem to go away.

we just have to know that he is tapping us and he is here.
