Sitting with the Lord

My last post, "Lessons", was written on Thursday, but I didn't have computer access then
and we got home after midnight, so I posted it today.

I hope that still counts for consecutive days.

Now, here is today's post:

Yesterday I had a lot of time to think and to pray.
Time to think and to pray is a tremendous gift to me.
Sitting in that porch swing
out in front of the building that houses the education department
I felt like I was sitting in that swing with the Lord.
And He was quietly speaking those wonderful words:
"Be still and know.  Know that I am God, and I am here, and I love you."

You can sit with Him too.  And our dear Lord will tell you too.
I love you.
Perhaps you'll be able to find some time to think and to pray and to know.
Real soon.

3.  my faithful denim jacket
4.  a lady's ruby slipper shoes shining in the midst of conservative black
5.  the immense relief of a job well done
6.  Victor realizing he really wouldn't have changed a thing
