I noticed a young child stop and immediately bow his head. After he began walking again, I asked him what he was going. He told me that he always prays for the people who are in the ambulance; that they would be OK. I was so touched and think of that moment every time I hear or see an ambulance. <br /><br />I too want to love God with such trust, just like a little child.<br /><br />I'm so glad we are still learning. <br /><br />Love you,<br />DebbieDebbie Petrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235978883396499354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569182682068612485.post-14480241140074896672012-10-20T07:27:12.391-07:002012-10-20T07:27:12.391-07:00I read this and my heart whispered...me too...show...I read this and my heart whispered...me too...show me how to live right and good and not react but take what I see to live my best life that shines HIm.

And even when our lives are heading towards the end we are allowed to remain witnesses.<br />My mother has always been a light in the word, more by acts than of words. <br />Last week she was ill and scared and she said to the nurses, "If any of you are praying, please pray for me now."<br />I think that testimony about belief in prayer must have been mighty for nurses getting hardened by working with ill and dying people for years.<br />"When I am weak, then I am strong".Felisol https://www.blogger.com/profile/12240191154632603841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569182682068612485.post-72166758665374365382012-10-17T19:23:03.927-07:002012-10-17T19:23:03.927-07:00Love how you share that God knows you so well and ...Love how you share that God knows you so well and can get through to you by using these the Sonja things that He knows will speak to your heart.

It's about connecting dots, with all dots connecting to Him. I likek your examples.<br /><br />Now, if only I could cure myself of mis-connected dots like this: Going into the laundry room to gather & fold laundry but then, seeing my shoes, remember to take out the garbage; in route, I then decide to change the exterior light bulbs; while I'm doing that I decide I'd better sweep the leaves off the front porch, after which time I take the broom indoors to sweep the kitchen floor. Eventually I make my way to bed & wonder where my bathrobe is. It's in the washer ... still wet.
