Roses in the dumpster: seeing God in everyday life

July 11, 2013 by Aprille 25 Comments

But God isn’t nearly as far away as you think. Open your eyes. Look around you for his love – for his grace – today in the ordinary, in the human, in the messy, in the everyday. He’s there, waiting to love you.
