#526 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
February, 2023 Andrew Murray on humility: “The root of all virtue and grace–of all faith and acceptable worship–is that we know we have nothing but what we receive, and we bow in deepest humility to wait upon God for it.”

#527 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
March, 2023 When 13 men get together for an overnight golf getaway, the spirit of cooperation that develops is heartening. They are anxious to help out–they defer to one another–they look out for one another–they take responsibility for themselves. There is an atmosphere of joy and laughter and relaxation and–dare I say it–love. Makes me think that the Holy Spirit is present.

March 2023 There’s a full moon–it’s still daylight. The moon is shining clearly through the branches of my beloved live oak tree. A waft of a breeze and a hint of a chill…it awakens wonderful symbolism to me. The glorious march proceeds…

March, 2023 “The most important change that can occur in a person’s life is a change in his/her faith.” –Leo Tolstoy There are so many people I long to share that with, from dear relatives to unbelieving friends. That change occurred in my life when I was 26 years old, and I have reaped the benefits ever since.

March, 2023 Most of my doubts are not about God–they are about me. Will I keep the faith, run the race? Deep down, am I wheat or chaff? In a pinch, will I choose self over others? With great relief I realize: I don’t have to trust myself to hold on; I have to trust Him to hold me.

#531 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
January, 2023 I am very absorbed in “journey” at this stage of my life. I know that I am moving, that I have a direction and a destination, and that I’m glad to be on it. So the metaphors slide back and forth–a road and a river. It’s a road because I have to walk: I have to get up in the morning and make choices to move forward. It is possible to stand still–that is a wasted day. But it’s a river because I have no control over how or when we are getting there, except to float or swim. It reminds me of the best explanation I ever heard of free will and God’s will: I am on a railroad track and God is walking on the rail next to mine. He always stays right with me, separate but together, and we see that when we look to the horizon we come together.

It’s Family Sunday!
#532 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
February, 2023 Our son and three granddaughters came by unexpectedly today. We spent the afternoon hanging out, playing in the park and fixing an impromptu dinner. We heard all about the daddy/daughter dance the previous night. Me and Harlie took down Zack and Elliotte in basketball. Grandma tried to keep Mason from overwhelming Spice. Harlie’s comment: “She loves dogs but she sure is rough on them.” That night my heart was full of the blessing God gives us through family.
