Listen More Closely

If you never have before please listen to ‘Windmills of your mind’ by Sting (from ‘The Thomas Crown Affair’ soundtrack). It brings clarity to things that would otherwise be lost if you just become “STILL” & really listen to it. I mean listen to it the way that people listen to a doctor in the most dire situations in an emergency room.

Listening to what is being said while listening to what is perceived to be said is a gift from God given to us. Why not use it?!

The communication that we have with God is not able to be heard by all. However, it is understood by all that are willing to believe…that are willing to have faith. Faith & belief in something greater. Something more. Something powerful. Something great. I have never known anything that is bigger than what I can imagine in my mind like I have known the Lord. The only thing I can draw a comparison to with regards to faith & belief is “air”. You can’t see, feel, smell, or physically hear air but it fills your lungs just like that cup of Pumpkin Spice Latte that you got this morning filled your stomach.

The Lord fills my soul to the brim of my cup. It over flows due to his/her love. I give a lot yet like giving money to a homeless person--it is never enough to do the jester justice. I love my life. I often wish I was immortal. (laughing) But I once loved a man (my grandfather) more than my own life. I wrote him a letter & gave it to him in hospice stating that I would give him all of my strength & all of my life if he wanted to take it & live longer.

In that instance I had but a fraction of a fraction of what Jesus did for us. He gave his life for OUR sins…for us…all of us. I can’t fathom what that was like. I can’t dream to have that courage. Yet I love him for it every day of my life.

Blessings…
