God Calling

Upon my bookcase is a book that my mother handed down to me --- or maybe i simply took it from her before I moved to Minnesota. 

During this time of grief, i have looked to it on occasion - and ironically, i have looked to an odd bank sign, which i have made mention before, i believe, for guidance and wisdom.  I find this uniquely cool.

Last night, late into the evening, I had my friend's two oldest boys here.  Her daughter is in the throws of ballet performances and these boys really do not care to sit through the dances of all the other girls, nor to they feel comfortable in their empty home.  Whereas most teenage boys would jump at the chance to have the house to themselves, these boys only see the loss of someone who should be taking up it's space.

So, they sat on my couch and watched a movie with my children and as they watched, I sat at my computer to draft up my daily email to my friend.  Tonight, I took out my book - God Calling.  Knowing I have hit a hard part in this journey with her, she is encouraging me to slow down a bit.  But, if there was a visual, she would be saying yes, while shaking her head no.  

I ended her email with the passage from this book.  Thank you for listening.

The Divine Third


When I have led you through these storms there will be other words for you, other messages - other guidance.

So deep is your friendship and so great your desire to love and follow and serve Me that soon, when this time of difficulty is over, to be alone together will always mean to be shut in with Me.

There are few friendships in the world like that and yet I taught, when on earth, as I have you both, the power of the two together.

And now tonight I have more to say to you. I say that the time is coming, is even now here, when those who visit you two together will know that I am the Divine Third in your friendship.
