Like a large, warm blanket........

No one in the Old Testament would have described their relationship with God as 'a large warm blanket' but recently I heard a young woman talk about a time when in her alienation she experienced God as a large, warm blanket.  She felt loved and protected for that moment.  In her understanding, God had invited her to stop and rest and recoup.  God didn't change the circumstances which caused her aloneness, but rather gave her a space to gain strength through the knowledge of God's presence.

How would you describe your experience of God?  Can you summon up a picture that begins to capture this relationship you have with the Divine?

It is worth the time to think about this.  This is God talk that is easy for others to understand and your image might lead someone to an experience of God.  Everyone gets what it means to be wrapped in a warm blanket, right?
