Today’s Reflection
God speaks to us whether we are listening or not. God tries to reassure us whether we understand it or not. The more we practice stillness, the greater our ability to listen for and recognize God’s voice of reassurance and deep love in our lives. The more we recognize God’s naming us as beloved, the greater our ability to serve.
—Kristen E. Vincent, We Are Beloved: A Lenten Journey with Protestant Prayer Beads (Upper Room Books, 2019)

We hear God’s voice when we are silent and do God’s will silently. It is God who knows what we are doing. We shouldn’t make a big proclamation to the world.
Jule, I went to the site and then the comments way at the bottom to get on and post. At first there was an error message. Keyboard working better today. ZOOM wth church friends over breakfast went well. Hope Mary is ok on her mission trip and Marcy has the medical and financial help she needs. Prayers for everyone, the virus does not affect just the sick. May financial help arrive soon. Be safe, stay healthy UR family. Thank You, Lord.
