#85 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Wednesday, December 29, 2021 “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.” (I John 4:7) I asked God how I can become a more loving person, and He said: Practice. Practice on your wife–practice on your dog–practice on your granddaughters and your family–practice on the church folk–practice on your golf buddies–practice on whoever I bring into your life. Amen.

#86 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Friday, September, 10, 2021 After hitting a shot very close to the pin on a par 3, I told my friend, “I thought that might be the one. I’ve always felt that God has promised me a hole in one.”
Friend: I don’t think God has anything to do with it.
Me: Oh, absolutely He does.
Friend: You think God is going to hit that ball for you?
Me: Of course not. I never said He was going to do it by Himself.

Saturday, September 11, 2021 Today I meditated on silence. God did too, I guess.

#88 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Friday, December 31, 2021 “Preach the word of God wherever you go, even use words if necessary.” –St. Francis of Assisi
I love that quote. I pray for 2022 that I might be more effective in sharing Jesus with others. It’s hard for me to talk about Jesus or tell someone what Jesus can do for him/her–even though I know it is true. God, show me the way.

#89 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Monday, August 23, 2021 Just a murmur, a whisper really. I was immersed in the tasks of the day: taking out the trash, zooming my Stephen Ministry meeting, putting away the dishes, cleaning the kitchen (ah, Brother Lawrence!), walking the dog. There is righteousness in doing what God has put before you. It has spiritual value.

#90 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Wednesday, August 25, 2021 The word for tonight is simplicity. We have Netfiix, Amazon Prime, Apple + and Hulu–tonight I was far more entertained by sitting in my study with a candle burning and my 4 year old granddaughter sleeping in the chair next to me after I rocked her because she was having difficulty sleeping. “The world is too much with us…” the poet said. I’m pretty sure he meant the world of Netflix, etc.

#91 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
Monday, December 27, 2021 “And you will seek Me and you will find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:13) I can’t dabble in spirituality. I have to make certain choices about how I am going to approach life–maintain awareness of His presence, put others before self, always take the high road–and I have to stick with them. This is not to say I don’t stumble over and over. I can’t go by what I feel at the moment–it has to run deeper than that.
