Going
to bed early has some disadvantages for me. It caused me to get up
early today. By early I mean around 4:45a.m.. This has allowed me
to get several things done but it has also allowed me more time to
think about matters of the heart. I think of my parents who are now
gone from this earth. I think of my sons who are now gone from home.
There are even thoughts about the work that lies ahead for the day.
So, as I start my day I ponder many issues that others would not
consider that important. I am not even sure if I consider than great
thoughts. Nevertheless, I let my mind wander all over the place.
For
me this is a way to let God speak and for me to speak to God. It is
not what some would consider prayer and yet my heart is able to speak
in the midst of a mind that is free floating. My heart knows a God
who cares for all of me and all of my thoughts. My heart tells me of
a God who loves me and is working all in my life for good. Today I
am going to try and listen to my heart more and let God continue to
speak to me.
