Wireless Connection


My friend was telling about her daughter’s summer fun with her grandparents at Sea Island, Georgia. She said that although she missed her while she was gone, this year was better than last year because her daughter was able to describe all of the experiences of her day during the daily phone conversations.

She went on by saying that last year when she would call there was silence on the other end of the phone because her daughter didn't know what to say. After coaching her to just pretend that her mom is sitting right next to her and talk to her in that way the conversations have improved. The telephone shouldn't make a difference in the conversations that they are having.

Many people are fearful of praying because they don't know what to say, but the same principle can be used. Talk to God just as you would a friend or loved one just like you were sitting together. Talk about your day, your likes and dislikes, your hopes and dreams, your pains and heartaches, your joys and sorrows. Tell Him why you care about Him and why you are thankful. God knows us better than we know ourselves, so we can’t really hide anything from Him, so be honest with Him.  

If you have struggled in the past with praying, why don’t you give this method a try? God is waiting for you, longing to spend time with you, so what are you waiting for?

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

Roxy was our beloved pet for 14 years. We got her for my daughter Lynn’s sixteenth birthday. Lynn had been begging for a dog and in a weak moment we agreed to her request. We decided that a pound puppy would be a good choice, so off to PetsMart we went, since they brought in a selection of puppies for adoption each weekend. Upon surveying the motley crew of dogs and cats, Lynn and I spotted a couple of cute white dogs with black and brown spots—a brother and sister pair, but we weren’t quite sure if one of them might be “the right one.” So back to the car for the next stop, and off to the humane society we went. Anytime you go to a place like that you hurt for the sad little animals just peering through the cages, longing to be grabbed up into your arms to be loved and cared for and you wish that you could take them all home. After checking out the big dogs, the small dogs, the old and the young, the hairy and even scary dogs, it was determined that none of those was meant to go home...
