My Reflections

God Answers Prayers and then Some.

Take UP Your Cross

Prompt:
Tell about a prayer that God answered.

Answer:
God answered so many prayers. It is hard to just pin-point one. This is an opportunity to give God praise. He is such a good and awesome God. He is such a loving father. He provides my every need. He even gives me my desires. I am a child of the King. I love him so much and he loves me more. 😃 He is misunderstood by many. So when I am misunderstood, I am in great company.

One of the recent prayers he has answered is that I have had a poem turned into a song. I want to learn it and record my voice singing it before I share it publically. It is just beautiful.

PROMPT July 27th

It's been a long day. Work was tougher than normal, you feel run down and dragged out. Now it's time to relax. Tell us how you relax after a day like this, or after any long day.

I love to kick off my shoes, get myself something soothing to drink, maybe listen to some music, and take a nice long warm bath. It is relaxing to just soak in that warm water. This is a great way to decompress too. I am alone in the tub and can clear my head. I can pray, cry, or do whatever I need to do.

I also find it relaxing to watch the flame on a candle burning. Watching the smoke drifting slowly away from the fire and then disappearing has a soothing affect.

Have you ever just watched tall grass or trees blowing in the wind? The grass almost mimic waves of water. Certain types of weeds or grass glisten in the sunlight. The trees sway back and forth in a rhythm of there own. Then listen to the birds as though they are making music. It is a different kind of praise to God. Sometimes just watching nature and feeling the soft breeze and the warmth of the sunshine on my face is so refreshing.

I am getting relaxed writing about it because I am so going there in my mind right now. Lol

Prompt: Recall (or imagine) an unusual object you have noticed on the side of the road. What is it? How did it get there? Why does it affect you?

One day, while traveling with my best friend, a cousin, and my aunt, we noticed a lot of road kill. My cousin, possibly a true blond, says, “How come you don't see dead birds on the side of the road?” My aunt answers seriously, “Because birds aren't stupid.” she was implying they fly out of the way before they get hit. Then she continued her conversation without missing a beat. Lol It was the way in which it was said and the tone of the conversation that made it funny.

Today we were fighting the Cardassians in the Delta quadrant with the crew of the U.S.S. Voyager at our sides. The Cardassians tried to board us but we repelled them in a hand-to-hand encounter. We aren't sure how they got through the shields, but we're investigating it.

While we were duking it out, a star appeared. It was Lilli ☕ (1382) ! She writes

Day 3178: July 27, 2021

Prompt: Write about a July rains storm or any type of July weather in your part of the world.

Right now, the weather is finally starting to catch up with the time of year. Temperatures have been a bit milder in Oklahoma this year and we have gotten a lot of rain. Considering what is going on to the west of us, I believe that is a good thing. I am praying for those affected by the wildfires and mudslides.
