God Listens

I have been told many times that the grief comes in waves and that you can never know when to expect to be overwhelmed again. And I have found that to be true. The last couple of days have been particularly hard, no specific reason, just really hard and the burden of sadness has been heavy.

I lean heavily on God in these times. I don't form worded prayers as much as just open myself up to Him. I pray familiar prayers, but mostly I just ask for help.

God listens. I enjoyed a long phone call yesterday, and received notice of a donation in Cecil's memory. Today, I received a lovely card and note.

Not everyone would see these things as God answering prayers, but I do. God gave me the people in my life who love me and lift me up. God whispers in ears to write notes and make phone calls.

Thank you to everyone reading this who listens to God's whispers. You are making the world a more loving and supportive place with your actions.
