Chapter One

I wanted to know all about God, so I went out looking for him in signs of his creation.

I wondered what God does in the mornings. Then I smelled the dew on the grass at dawn.

I wondered where God is at nighttime, and I felt safe and warm in my bed.

I wondered if God is gentle, and a butterfly floated on the air in front of me.

I wondered if God is strong, and the ocean roared in my ears.

I wanted to know if God likes music. Then I heard a pond on a summer night.

I wondered what God's love feels like, and Grandma put her arms around me and gave me a big hug.

Now when I go out looking for God, I know exactly where to find him.
