The amount of moisture here in Oklahoma City is so great that the current rain just stands on top of the ground. It would be nice if they could share this with S. Idaho where we pray for sufficient rain/snow each winter. It is nice to be here with our kids. It is always a mental/emotional vacation to come here. They, along with their friends, are so fun to be with.

I don’t often point out someone who connects to this blog, but this morning I want to do that. My brother-in-law, who is a real brother to me, sent a text message yesterday with a song attached to it. He said he had felt the sadness in last week’s post connected to the genuine sadness I was experiencing with the family news of late. Hope seemed very distant for a few days there. The song he forwarded to me was like the sweet aroma of God’s Holy Spirit. I just love how God uses one another to lift spirits when one is needing just that. The added blessing is knowing that God’s Spirit prompted it and my brother obeyed the prompting.

For so long I thought the language of God’s Holy Spirit seemed like a foreign one. But, today this is all changing. God is awakening me to His Precious Gift in remarkable ways and I rejoice in it over and over again. It is just another proof of God’s Intimate Love for you and me. How I love Him for this!
