illuminate what's right in front of me...

   My friend recently shared with us on our little weekend getaway, words from Anne Graham Lotz. She shared that Anne was in a place in her life that she didn't "feel" God as close as she once had. He spoke to her spirit that there was sin in her life. She gave 10 things that cause us to distance ourselves from Him. #1 on the list was in regard to gratitude. What blessings or answers to prayer have you neglected to thank God for? Big one. I guess that's why it's #1. A grateful heart. That's where the rubber meets the road so to speak. I was listening to this song during my walk this morning and the words, "Jesus when you speak to me, I hope I'm listening to you, hope this heart of mine receives, show me what you see, illuminate what's right in front of me." Jesus, are you a stranger or a friend? That touched my heart. Dear Lord, help me to have a grateful heart; so grateful that I place priority on hearing your voice over any other voice. So grateful, that I always remember all the things you've done for me and that I am always looking hard to see what's right in front of me...(even all those little things.)

Jesus, you are the best friend I have ever had,
