I got up earlier than usual yesterday morning felling like I had a very busy day ahead of me, you know, felling over loaded! I enrolled in an on-line school some six months ago and our instructor is traveling on a speaking engagement and moved our class to Monday which meant getting my homeowrk completed before then. Sunday is church day, also the day a group of us go out to an assisted living facility and hold church services for those unable to get out and go to church, then, early in the evening, I attend a bible study!
So, when I got up, I made a cup of coffee, sat down in my recliner and started talking to Father. I said Father, I’m overloaded today and feel like I just need to skip church today, what do you think? I then heard that still small voice inside me say “OK”. So I got my papers out to start working on my school work and I found myself frequently watching the clock. As the clock moved closer to church time, I decided I would get up and go anyway. As I got up, I heard this chucklle and I stopped with my mouth open and said, Father did you just laugh at me? And I heard that voice again say Yes, I knew your were going!
Now some of you may thing I’ve lost a marble or two and that’s ok, but I talk to Father, Abba! Abba means Daddy! Daddy means intimate relationship! Communication is a two way experience, talking and listening! Relationship means we can laugh with each other. It’s really not weard, It’s very scriptural.
Oh, and I got everthing done that I needed to! I just want to share with you that Father was and is a Father first who loves His children, just like you love your’s as parents! He is actually where we learned that from!!! Have fun with Him! He enjoys your attention!
Just a thought, just saying!
