Walking In The Snow.

Walking in the snow.

Good Morning

Stand with me and lift up your bible and repeat after me.

This is my Bible.

I am what it says I am.

I can do what it says I can do.

I am going to learn how to be what it says I can be.

Today I will learn more of the word of God.

The indestructible, never ending, living word Of God.

I will never be the same.

I will never be the same.

In Jesus Name

I wanted you to read you this letter that might have been sent to you or me at one time in our lives.

Dear Friend,

As you got up this morning, I watched you and hoped you would talk to me, even if it was just a few words, asking my opinion or thanking me for something good that happened in your life yesterday, but I noticed you were too busy trying to find the right outfit to put on and wear to work. So, I waited.

When you ran around the house getting ready, I knew there would be a few minutes for you to stop and say, “Hello”, but you were too busy.

At one point you had to wait fifteen minutes with nothing to do except sit in a chair. Then I saw you spring to your feet, and I thought you wanted to talk to me, but you ran to the phone and called a friend to get the latest gossip.

I watched as you went to work and I waited patiently all day long. With all your activities I guess you were too busy to say anything to me.

I noticed before lunch you looked around, maybe you felt embarrassed to talk to me, that is why you didn't bow your head. You glanced three or four tables over and you noticed some of your friends talking to me briefly before they ate, but you didn't. That's okay, there is still more time left, and I have hope that you will talk to me even yet.

You went home and it seems as if you had lots of things to do. After a few of them were done you turned on the TV. I don't know if you like TV or not, just about anything goes there & you spend a lot of time each day in front of it, not thinking about anything, just enjoying the show. I waited

patiently again as you watched TV and ate your meal, but again you didn't talk to me.

As you did your work around the house I waited again, as you did what you had to do. At bedtime I guess you felt too tired. After you said goodnight to your family you plopped into bed and fell asleep in no time. That's okay, because you may not realize that I am always there for you.

I've got patience more than you will ever know. I even want to teach you how to be patient with others as well. Because I love you so much, a long time ago I left a wonderful place called Heaven and came to Earth. I gave it up so that I could be ridiculed and made fun of. I even died so you would not have to take my place. I love you so much that I wait every day for a nod, a prayer, a thought or a thankful part of your heart. It is hard to have a one-sided conversation.

Well, you are getting up again and once again I will wait with nothing but love for you hoping that today you will give me some time. Have a nice day!

Your best friend,

Jesus

Are we spending enough time with God?

In early 2007 I lived in Northeast Pennsylvania here in the United States and I was getting ready to see a great change in my life. I was housebound during a snow storm. I decided for some reason to go for a walk. I put my coat on, my gloves, my boots, my hat, and stepped out into the snow and started walking. The snow was coming down at steady pace and was about six inches deep as I walked. I lived in a very rural area without many houses and it was filled with many tall trees everywhere you looked.

As the snow came down and I walked toward the lake at the bottom of the hill, I remembered when I had gotten the closest to the Lord and wondered why I was not that way. I got to the bottom of the hill and saw the bench by the lake. It was covered in snow and I brushed off a spot to sit on.

Then I felt what it was. It was the place I had diligently spent many hours sitting and listening and praying with the Lord. It was where I had many hours of quiet time with Him and gotten closer in my relationship with Him.
