Sunday, July 19: The Kingdom of Heaven is Like…
The Divine Presence is manifesting for me in my daily routine, which is not really a routine for as often as it changes according to the day’s requirements. I can plan and God giggles and says, “not today, linda, I have other plans for you.” To pray and then do the next practical thing is my best way to experience the Divine Presence.
I have experienced grace in an unexpected way. I have not seen family since Christmas. My brother had a job near us recently and we were able to meet him at a park, to connect with close family, chat a bit, cry with joy a bit, and feed our souls on the bread of love. Spirit met us all there and I am so thankful. Extremely glad to have had even a limited time together. linda <3
