I know you understand these places of "enforced stillness" so well, and have found those "glimpses of His Glory right where (you) are." So, yes, I want to learn more of being surrendered here in this stillness where He calls me also. Isn't He so gracious to us, to soften these days with the blessings of His Presence? I am so grateful for your presence as well, Dear Friend, and the words you share that point to Jesus' Grace. Hugs and Blessings to you! xoxoBettieGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01184677704960428160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4123043706114460279.post-37393691076321911892017-02-03T12:38:00.546-08:002017-02-03T12:38:00.546-08:00Thank you God for this exactly what I needed on a ...Thank you God for this exactly what I needed on a day like todayseatts79https://www.blogger.com/profile/05779850169688507747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4123043706114460279.post-24551891921658128852017-02-03T12:13:23.696-08:002017-02-03T12:13:23.696-08:00Wow, what a beautiful word, powerful poem and pray...Wow, what a beautiful word, powerful poem and prayer you have shared here, Bettie! They all add up to a grace feast for the soul. It's a sweet gift to be able to discern those 'thin places' where heaven seems to touch earth. I've long yearned to actually visit one and mourned my inability to do so, until God revealed to me that He lets the veil slide a little for all with hungry hearts, and we can catch a glimpse of His glory right where we are. I'm in awe of the great things He is showing you, dear friend. Enforced stillness and pain seem like such harsh thorns but oh the beauty they bring forth from a sweetly surrendered soul like yours! Blessings and hugs to you. xox Joy Lentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03486637586238798088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4123043706114460279.post-6816733510144709362017-02-02T19:57:19.241-08:002017-02-02T19:57:19.241-08:00Dear Linda, I am so thankful that you were blessed...Dear Linda, I am so thankful that you were blessed here. I love that passage in Ephesians, and have been so touched by it this week. When God began pulling my thoughts together for this week's chapters, I understood why the verses had struck home so vividly with me. Isn't God amazing, how He uses so many different things, and then pulls them all together to bring His Holy Spirit nudges to our hearts? May He continue to speak His Will into your life this week!BettieGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01184677704960428160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4123043706114460279.post-15934762680369893522017-02-02T18:13:37.438-08:002017-02-02T18:13:37.438-08:00Thank-you Bettie for sharing this perspective and ...Thank-you Bettie for sharing this perspective and the closing passage in Ephesians. It is one I quite needed to hear just now. I can relate to Orual--distrustful, wary of being deceived and thereby hurt, quick to harden her heart. This is something God is bringing to my attention these days and he's using Lewis' book TWHF, the discussion at Michele Morin's site and your thoughts as well. Thank-you for being vulnerable and generous with your heart. I've been stopping by each week. --Linda Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682029173527471837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4123043706114460279.post-20977164188419023472017-02-02T16:28:09.955-08:002017-02-02T16:28:09.955-08:00Dear Michele,

In case you didn't know it, there is a website that airs the shows, I can send you the link if you would like. Yes, please share this post however you feel it would be helpful.
