The day was much warmer than I had expected as Lina and I set off for a walk on the canyon trails. By the time I reached the bench overlooking the river I was glad to sit down for a while. I slipped off my backpack and pulled out the yarn I had packed along for this purpose. It seemed almost out of place in the prettyish sort of wilderness where I sat. The breeze heard my prayers there.
My crocheting goes with me everywhere these days - back and forth to work, stuffed under one arm at the dog park, rolling at my feet on roadtrips, next to my bed at night, and even carted on walks. It helps me to remember God's omnipresence, for little else accompanies me so faithfully.
Hebrews 13:5b "God has said, 'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.'"
Even though God promises He'll always be with me, I often fail to remember His presence as I go from place to place. He can be there, yet not thought of, pulled out merely when one feels like it, thinks it a duty, or is in need of assistance. I want to invite His presence, to choose to be with Him, in all circumstances, as He is with me.
