"We don't need to retire to the desert to meet with God.
He can come to
us at our ordinary duties."
(A. Bonar)
It's interesting how He came to me - early this morning.
(If you're interested in this vein of posting, you'll need to read a couple of my previous ones...)
My ordinary early morning practice is to enjoy the cup of coffee my husband makes and hands me, journal, read a selected Bible passage from a read-through-the-Bible-in-a-year plan, pray,
and then check facebook, twitter and emails.
OK. Keeping it honest, that is the order I'd LIKE to practice.
Sometimes I mix it up. Anyway...

Today is our 41st anniversary.
Now get THIS.
Would you believe that the Dr. John Piper tweet that greeted me this morning was:
"These forty years the Lord your God has been with you."
Deut. 2:7
!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!
The Lord our God has even thrown in a BONUS year for us!
We DON'T need to retire to the desert to meet with God.

He can (and does) come to us at our ordinary duties.
