What's Really Important

"Prayer does not enable us to do a greater work for God. Prayer is a greater work for God."

Thomas Chalmers (1780-1847)

An early drive in the fog gave me this opportunity.

Many years ago a friend asked me if I would type a collection of poems that her grandfather, P. J. Wolz, wrote. He was not famous . . . just an average person who worked hard and was trustworthy. He lived his life for God.

Of all the poems he wrote, my eyes and heart stayed with a simple two line poem. I call on it frequently to remind me of what's really important as we walk with God.

"How wonderful, at evening, to be able to say,

What a day! Lord. What a day! Because I could pray."

His simple words summed it up right nicely. But how often do I take advantage of this invited invitation from God? I'd say, not often enough.

"Never wait for a fitter time or place to talk to Him. To wait til you go to church or to your room is to make Him wait. He will listen as you walk."

George MacDonald (1824-1905) 

Was a joy to watch this fawn out back last evening.
