I've been known to share my lunch time with people
co-workers, friends, family~
It's always a meaningful time.
Today I felt lonely
I wanted to share my lunch
but I had no lunch date
no one available today
I drove to an empty parking lot.
As I was driving I sensed God say to me,
"I'll share lunch with you, Ann!"
So I said, "Okay, God.
You be my lunch date".
I sat in the car and ate most of my salad
(I always make them too big)
I looked out the window at the colorful leaves
being blown from the trees
Another season is upon us
sigh
the warm weather never lasts long enough for me...
I read from a book written by one of God's kids
This book has really spoken to my heart
and has changed me some...on the inside
at least I think it has...i hope so
Anyway as I read I felt God was sitting right there next to me
smiling with love in his "eyes"
The chapter was about loving yourself
so that you can love others well
i have had a problem with loving myself
mainly in the past, not as much now.
But I still need a reminder, because I can still get
pretty hard on myself at times
I started to talk to God about
loving others
close friends of mine and family
the hurt they've experienced
that keeps them from loving themselves
and others.
I shed some tears for them
I asked God to allow me love them with his love
and... if he was willing, to use me in their lives
to bring them closer to him
so that he could fill the holes in their hearts
What a wonderful God he is...
I will never figure him out
and that's a good thing
because I'm just a tiny speck in this vast creation of his
and I would't want a God that could be figured out
by such a tiny thing.
It was one of the best lunch dates I ever had!
