Growing up...I was invisible...
To my family...
Grandparents...
Parents...
Aunts and Uncles...
No one in my family paid any "particular" attention to me.
From an early age I remember...thinking...in my head...
If anyone were going to take care of me...it's me...
That has been my journey of discovery...
Then, I met Tom Doyle's family...
My husband...
My nieces and nephews...
My brother and sister in-law...
Extended family...
They could see me!!!! I was no longer invisible...
As the years go by...
Friends...
New family...
They can see me!!! They know me...They love me any way~~~
What a blessing...
And today, I have a relationship with an "invisible" God.
Just because he is invisible...does not make him any less real...
Just like me growing up...
People choose to see wh0 and what they want to see...
God's gift to us as humans...
My journey is my choice....
I choose to be seen...
By the people who know me and love me anyway...
By the God who knows me and loves me anyway...
Debbie, you made me cry when I read your blog about being invisible! I'm so sorry. I love you so much. You are a wonderful person, and I am blessed to part of your life.
When you said that you love an invisible God, I thought...I love a visible God. I see Him everyday in the people around me, in the flowers, trees, especially in the hummingbirds in my backyard. I love His creation!
I see Him in you!
Love Always & Forever,
Patty
