The Drive In

                                                 
                                    Winding road photos found on Mike Giancola's Portfolio

On the drive in this morning I turned off the radio. I felt a slight chill in the air but I could hear the wind and the sound of myself breathing. For some reason my eye sight was not as blurry and time had changed and the commute was a bit different and darker . I first passed a little bird sitting on the road and I found myself saying a little prayer and slowing down. All while thinking why is that little bird just sitting there (is it hurt, tired? ) then It flew off and a sense of relief came over me. Then I noticed a billboard sign that I pass every single day and I saw different colors on that sign and thought HMMM. Then I found myself praying inside of me for all those I pray for > Family and friends and I looked to the left to see things I normally don't see . Was I more conscious of things this morning ? Was I not as rushed ? Then I thought LORD thanks for slowing me down this morning to see the things you wanted me to see … TO pray for those you wanted me to pray for. GOD'S blessings really are all around us. I stopped to get gas and this man that was clearly before me .. SAID hey go ahead. I turned back around and said Thank you and he smiled knowing he did something good and kind. I felt different this morning. I can't really put my finger on it. BUT I know that GOD is saying BE AWARE.. I think that is the message that I will pass on for today. I loved the DRIVE IN this morning.

SO I guess whatever direction your going today .. BE AWARE .  I even noticed a sticker on the car in front of me saying GOD listens .. HOW awesome is that . Have a blessed day . I hope that your day is filled with blessings and GOD surrounds you with peace love and joy . PAY IT FORWARD ..

THANKS FOR SHARING SOME OF YOUR DAY WITH ME. I TRULY APPRECIATE IT .

SHERRY

  8. I find myself praying a lot when I am in my car driving... one time, when I was coming home from my girlfriends house late at night.... as I sat at a red light I was just flooded with the need to say a bazillion Hail Mary's... weird huh? Even I thought so even as I was saying them..lol. But... I firmly believe NOW that that was to keep me safe for what lay ahead when I pulled into my driveway when I got home. We had a vacant house across the street from us and at the side gate was a truck pulled partially into the back yard. Ok, I thought--- probably stealing something like the air conditioner to scrap the metal. Well... that person was dropping off a DEAD BODY in the back yard. *gasp* Soooooooooooo there you go... the power of prayer is very important to keep us safe :-) Keep it up!
    big hugs!

  11. IT IS AWESOME and yes, HE does listen! I just think it's US who need to slow down, as you noticed. Isn't it a mystery, yet such brilliance and logic, that to find God, we must stop and listen? Oh my dear, it is good to see you! Happy day, and thank you so much for coming over to visit! Anita
