Tuning In To God’s Voice!
I went for my two mile walk
around the lake today! Walking helps
calm my thoughts and take time to appreciate the beauty of nature. I use the time to meditate, reflect and enjoy
a peaceful walk. I noticed that the
shadows among the pathway were different than my early morning walks. If it was not for the recognized landmarks, I
thought I was going a different way.
It’s interesting how shadows can deceive you. They cast doubts and fears like the same kind
that cast fears and doubts in our lives.
Once they take over, they mislead us and often cause us to make wrong
choices. Fortunately, some of us manage
to get back on track but not with any help of our own. When we look back on the rough areas in our
lives we sometimes thought that we would never make it, but we did. Do not think that we were responsible for
getting back on the path. God loves us
so much that He will not let us fail if we stay faithful to him as He does for
us. It is my choice that I tune in and
listen for that quiet voice. He will
keep me on the right path and lead me in the right direction despite my
trials. Like Joyce Meyers said, “pray
that we can see the treasures in our trials.”
Chow-Chow, the Emperor’s Guard Dog!
On my walk I met a very kind gentleman
with a beautiful black Chow. Her name
was bear, even though she looked like a small lion. The Chinese name for Chow-chow is puffy-lion dog. Bear weighed 89 pounds and very docile. While Jonathan and I talked, she stretched
out and relaxed. In fact, Bear did not
get up until three young ladies approached her directly and wanted to take her
picture and pet her. That was the only
time that Bear barked, she did not care for people she did not know to get
close to her. Her fur was black and
shiny and very soft according to Jonathan.
We had a very interesting
conversation, Jonathan was cordial and entertaining. He has an ebook on Adjuster Stories. You can guess that Jonathan was an insurance
adjuster supervisor and wrote about the various experiences he had contact
with. Go to the website www.AdjusterStories.com Joshua, a
Navy veteran has the right voice and tone for the talking book.
