"What Do You Really See?"
A small boy once approached his slightly older
sister with a question about G~d. "Susie, can
anybody ever really see G~d?" he asked.
Busy with other things, Susie curtly replied: "No,
of course not silly. G~d is so far up in heaven that
nobody can see Him." Time passed, but his question
still lingered so he approached his mom: "Mom, can
anybody ever really see G~d?" "No, not really," she
gently said. "G~d is a spirit and He dwells in our hearts,
but we can never really see Him."
Somewhat satisfied but still wondering, the youngster
went on his way. Not long afterwards, his saintly old
grandfather took the little boy on a fishing trip. They
were having a great time together--it had been an ideal
day. The sun was beginning to set with unusual splendor
as the day ended. The old man stopped fishing and turned
his full attention to the exquisite beauty unfolding before him.
On seeing the face of his grandfather reflecting such deep
peace and contentment as he gazed into the magnificent
ever-changing sunset, the little boy thought for a moment
and finally spoke hesitatingly: "Granddad, I--I-- wasn't going
to ask anybody else, but I wonder if you can tell me the
answer to something I've been wondering about a long time-
-can anybody--can anybody ever really see G~d?"
The old man did not even turn his head. A long moment
slipped by before he finally answered. "Son," he quietly said.
"It's getting so I can't see anything else."
