Footprints in the Sand

I really liked these footprints in the sand.  The thought of footprints in the sand may be a bit overworked in Christian circles, but this beach scene was striking.  There were thousands of bird footprints in the sand, seemingly in a random pattern, in various shapes and sizes.     
 
It speaks well to life.  In amongst mankind's millons of people, we all leave a footprint everywhere we step.  Most of the time we never look back and see the footprint, but it is always there.  Sometimes at peculiar times, we stop, look and realize we have left our mark.  Maybe it was a good impression.  Maybe it was a bad impression.  But, it is an impression.
 
Cora, friends and I ate at a nice bayside restaurant last night.  For you Port A lovers, we dined at Virginia's.  We shared a great time and enjoyed the seafood dinner.  After the meal was over, we tipped the waitress good and I asked if she had ever seen God do anything in her life?  She smiled and said, "no".  I was speechless.  I asked this question on Federico and my bus trip across America and never got the simple answer, "no".
 
This question begs an answer.  What do you say to a person that has never seen God work in their life?  What common ground do you have to work from that brings credibility to the statement that God loves you?
