Good Morning! The light of the Lord shines in us today. I pray that one more letter of love might go out to you on this day. What a beautiful sunrise this morning. This is one of my favorite times to write the devotional, that time just before the sun comes up when only the occasional car goes by and even the animals are quiet. The annual harvest report, since I know that I did this last year, is that about half of it is finished. As I drove to Scottsbluff and back yesterday, it seems that about the same number of fields are cut as are not. I saw harvesters working in Banner county; they may have received less rain than we did.
Yesterday, I heard a couple of embarrassing Lord stories. What in the world could that be? It goes like this, we ask the Lord in prayer for something that might seem at first to be a little silly or selfish, an "I want" or "I would like" request, and later, perhaps years later, the Lord answers in a way that humbles us. I thought it might be interesting to collect some of those stories. What stories do you have wherein you received what you asked for and were humbled by the experience? Did the Lord fulfill your request through someone whom you didn't expect? Did a child in some way fulfill your request? I have come to see a God-sized sense of humor in our Lord. Remember the story about the Seven Sons of Seva in Acts? You know the one where the demon responds, "We know Jesus and we know Paul, but who are you?" and proceeds to thump the pretenders to a fine fare-thee-well. Sometimes a person or persons deserve a good thumpin', not the least of which might be myself! :-)
God loves you and so do I!
