I came across this and wanted to share it with all of you. It's the way I think of my HP, only much more eloquently stated than I am able to do :D

"How can we possibly describe feeling the Presence of God? It is the difference between being a child left alone in an empty house at night and a child who knows that her mother is in the next room. Even though she can't see or hear her mother, she feels comforted by her warm, loving, protective presence. And while a human parent can't always be with us, our spiritual parent will never abandon us." ~ Mary Manin Morrissey

You are more than welcome. I'm working Step 3 again with my sponsor and she's having me write a description of my Higher Power...kind of like a job application :) I was reading over this and thinking how part of this fits right in there...the warmth part. Very important for me! Glad you liked it :redpinkhe
