#1184 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
July 19, 2024 Making phone calls. Besides my brother and four sisters, there are three friends I try to keep in touch with on a regular basis. Then there are several golf buddies who can’t play because of various health issues, and I like to check up on them. I also occasionally turn back the pages and reach out to someone I haven’t seen for a long while but remember fondly. These activities are, I believe, Spirit-led. “Let love for the brethren continue.” (Hebrews 13:1). I have found that it’s easier to let relationships recede than to actively engage. Love is active.

May 20, 2024 My ultimate purpose in this writing project is communicating in any way I can find how much God loves us. Because a lot of people do not know…and no one knows the depths. Except Jesus.

#1187 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
May 26, 2024 I’m back on that “…is God audible?–He’s louder than that…” post from awhile back. It has led me to examine how I believe God speaks to me–me personally–every single day. So how? Through my thoughts–and I don’t just mean reading my Bible (I love my Bible)–but through all my thoughts and how they run. He can inspire them, guide them, alert them, shake His head at them, and dismiss them. But c’mon, thoughts stream in and out–how can I determine He is speaking? The Apostle Paul provided the guidelines: “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things.” (Philippians 4:4–6). Direct my thoughts, Lord Jesus.

June 26, 2024 Sometimes (dark times) I wonder if progress is even real. Am I not, essentially, the same person I was 30 years ago? Boy, I hope not. We are supposed to grow in love–in faith–in hope. If I am the same as I was 30 years ago, I am stagnant. Thank You, Lord Jesus, that I am not.

Family Sunday, bee happy…
#1189 HOW GOD SPOKE TO ME TODAY
August 17, 2024 We have one granddaughter spending the night, as the other two got better offers. After my initial disappointment, I see that this is a better way. One on one, we get all of her attention. I’m on the back porch cooking chicken drumsticks; every time I go in I hear the two of them chattering away in a back room. It’s a wonderful sound. Ah Lord, You are so wise in Your ways!
