There are times when journeys have sweet spots.  These present days are some of them.  Kathy and I are simply having the best time with my two sisters.  We’ve done nothing but eat, talk, drive around and repeat these steps.  The talking has been deep sometimes and then we switch to laughter and crying.  I know it is a healing time for Bonnie.  Even though she is a strong person, there are just times we need to be able to be held and let all that pent up emotion out.

Last night my nephew came over with his wife for dinner.  We are going to church with them on Sunday morning.  He was so excited to know that.  He has been inviting me to go to church with him for years.  His mom is Alice and everyone was willing to go this time so that’s where we are going.  I’m looking forward to it.

My devotions were very clear this morning about not trying to do God’s work and then give Him credit for it if all goes well.  It was well stated that God wants me obeying His nudges so He is seen when His work is done.  He is the primary one, not the secondary one.  I doubt if most Christians want to be seen ahead of God, but we so often do our “good deeds” hoping they are pleasing to God and completing what He wants done.  We are thanked for helping out and we attempt to let God be praised in the meantime.  All of this is in reverse order.  We are the ones God wants less conspicuous and He wants to be the visible one.  Only bit by bit am I beginning to see how this works.  At this point all I know is that I am not to act on my own inkling unless I am sensing God’s Spirit leading.  This is truly a way of operating I want to become much more sensitive too.
