It is no coincidence that the same letters it takes to spell the
word LISTEN can be rearranged to form the word SILENT.
I am the type of person that finds it hard to be SILENT at all.
Given the connection between silence and listening, one could easily deduct that I need to work on the listening part by being silent every now and again. Sounds simple in theory - but in practice...
I spent the day with a unique and beautiful individual who was used as God's instrument in my life. I had been invited to go spend the day with her 4 days ago, but 4 days ago would never have been as important as today.
God knew.
She has availed herself to God. Her words were beyond perfect. So perfect, it seemed that words as they spilled from her mouth were echoes of the breath of God in my heart.
The things we already know, but are fearful to accept can be the hardest to 'hear' from Him.
Sometimes He uses His people as instruments. Softly playing His tune.
kdp, today you were that gentle harp. Your words were life to my soul. Thank you for listening. Thank you for also gently saying what needed to be said in a way that fit so perfectly. Simple yet profound.

Don't worry about forgetting something, there is always a Wally World.
That reminds me of the time we went to Fun Valley Colorado and discovered when we got there that Mattie at the age of 4 took his clothes, all of his clothes, everything, to his drawers in his n the travel trailer. Walmart saved us!
