What Do You See? - Paperback

by Phyllis Sweitzer (Author), Kara Starcher (Editor)

God is everywhere everyday and in everything. Do you see Him?

What do you see when you look at a sunflower? Are you like me, who at times

barely glances at it and moves on? Or perhaps you really look at it and comprehend its

intricate design and beauty, noticing the veins of each petal and finding yourself

amazed that the center is made up of hundreds of flowers? You notice the vibrant

yellow contrasted against the dark center. And, like on the cover, there might be a bee

drinking the nectar. This amazing flower is here for a purpose and is a masterpiece of

design that we are privileged to experience every summer.

● Do you have a tendency of living life just going through the motions, which for most of us

is pretty typical?

● Are you too busy to notice what is around you?

● How often do we just pass through to the next activity or responsibility barely noticing

our surroundings? Oh to really SEE and comprehend!

● How often do we really notice nature and its beauty? Do we pay attention to the sky,

trees, flowers, insects, birds, or wildlife?

● How about people? Do we look at the faces of the cashiers in the store or the servers at

the restaurant? Do we look into their eyes? Or notice their countenance?

● Here is the big question for us-How do we see God? Where does He fit into our lives?

Or maybe He doesn't? Really seeing God is about not having limitations regarding His

presence and being alert to seeing Him in the most unusual places.

Join me on a journey of seeing God and finding Him when and where you least expect it.
