About two weeks ago, I was very sad, and I made the point to drive to Mission San Luis Rey just to seek some comfort and guidance from God. As I was parking outside the Old Mission in the parking lot in that late afternoon, tears were streaming down my face, I was crying, feeling overwhelmed, sad, wondering of why things happened so dramatically for us. I was looking toward the clouds, and out of the blue, a thought came to me when I expected the least, that was, did I put the fish package in the refrigerator the night before? As I was thinking about it a bit, then suddenly I saw a beautiful face in the clouds, I thought to myself, is this really a picture of Jesus? I kept looking at the face to capture of what I was seeing. As I tried to capture every aspects of that beautiful face, it did not last long, less than a minute or so, but it made me smile admiring God of knowing how to distract me from being sad, and of how clever He was for making a grand entrance. All of my worries and sadness seemed to vanish. I kept thinking about that beautiful face of a man in the cloud and wondering whether it was Jesus. I remember feeling peaceful and felt asleep.
Thinking back, I was thrilled of seeing the beautiful picture in the cloud, a face of a beautiful man, a face that touched my heart and made me feel peaceful. In a way, God is funny but very precise, He just knows how to make us feel good. He knew how to distract me from being sad, but then He helped me to not worry about things that are beyond my control. I am forever thankful for His grace and for interacting with me.
