Thank you to everyone who came to hear my lecture and messages at the Sunday church service at the Church of the Living Spirit on April 12th!!! That day, the church was packed. When we ran out of chairs, more had to be added. And when we ran out of hymnals, folks shared.
Then, at the luncheon, they ran out of food. Thankfully, my family and I were the last few people in line, so we were able to just go home for our mid-day meal. I was glad it didn't happen to someone who was visiting Lily Dale for the day as they would have had to go off-grounds for lunch. I expected at least a little grumbling from my boys, but they all took it graciously in stride. I whipped up food in short order, and our family bowed our heads and blessed our time and meal together.
In the days following the church service, many of you have approached me to let me know how much you appreciated my lecture and messages from Spirit. Some folks told me they were able to put aside their sorrows and burdens during that sweet hour of prayer and to their great amazement they allowed themselves to enjoy the whole rest of the day. Others said they enjoyed the references to George Mueller and other examples.
I truly enjoyed sharing my thoughts and inspirations, especially about how God is our Supply and how WE ARE UNDER GRACE at all times. As we focus on applying the Law of Nonresistance in our lives, obstructions and delays take on new meaning as we accept these events as blessings.
As a recent example of carrying on despite perceived obstacles, I just took a break from writing this blogpost to go on a brief family walk. It was raining and we almost decided to stay inside. We determined that we would venture out anyway because we wanted to enjoy some fresh air. We are glad we did, for amid the sprinkles and downpours, rays of sunshine were peaking thru from time to time. Immediately up the street from our house, we saw a beautiful rainbow. What a colorful gift of Joy!
Just as the song "Higher Ground" says, God lifts us up and plants our feet on Higher Ground. Let us dwell ON the Good and IN the Good, giving God our undivided attention.
