GRANDPA, HAVE YOU SEEN GOD?

 A small boy once approached his slightly older sister
 with a question about God.  "Susie, can anybody ever
 really see God?" he asked.  Busy with other things,
 Susie curtly replied, "No, of course not, silly.  God
 is so far up in heaven that nobody can see him."

  Time passed, but his question still lingered so he
 approached his mother: " Mom, can anybody ever really
 see God?"  "No, not really," she gently said.  "God 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: Grandpa, 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 God?"

 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."
