I saw God today

I saw God today through the miracle of technology allowing me to be in Florida and watch my son do a webcast concert LIVE from Manhattan - NYC. The miracle for me was watching my mother-in-law watch it too. Ailing health, failing eyesight and hearing, in pain most of the time; there is little that brings her true joy anymore.

But the look of joy on her face as she watched her grandson play his saxophone was a moment I would have hated to miss. Some wouldn't consider this technical link a miracle but I do.

We also used our webcam capabilities for her to talk and visit with her granddaughter who lives in Singapore. I was again amazed that for a woman whose eyes have slowly been letting her down she was able to recognize her granddaughter and saw and commented on her beautiful smile. Grandma still can't believe she was able to talk with someone she loves so much who is living on the other side of the planet.

Then we also got to use the computer to connect with and let Grandma see her great-grandson who lives in Jersey City. Now 2 years old he was exceptionally sweet. Grandma had her face so close to the computer to see as much detail in his face as she can that I'm sure all he could see in return was the top of her head.

Yes, for this aging sweet lady these events were miracles she never imagined she would see in her lifetime. Yet it was made possible through current technology. I cried tears of joy with her each time she saw a family member she thought she'd never see again.

Yes I saw God today in how He used technology to fill the deepest longings of an aging woman who experienced moments of love via the internet. Thank you Lord!
