Well, that must be why the Father sent the Son to be With Us, to show us the Father.<br /> ... and it reminds me of a very dry time I went through, when I felt that I was losing my own personal connection to God, and getting distracted by -- everything? My intuition was to read the Gospels, to immerse myself in JESUS, the things He did and said, so that I could fall in love with Him again. And it worked. Thank God! And thank you for a very helpful post, Floss!GretchenJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641677400029070452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089316062583477747.post-12239725690776064722014-03-16T22:53:40.945+01:002014-03-16T22:53:40.945+01:00I have been in a wilderness patch for about a year...I have been in a wilderness patch for about a year now, looking in from the outside. Today I came upon this little church in the woods, door open and nobody there - I went right in with youngest boy and we prayed for a while, it felt like home - a few weeks back I went to a similar picturesque church and found the same feeling at the evening of singing - at the time I thought the 'good feelings' were because it was such a beautiful place, but from today I am coming to realise this feeling of 'home' and 'special' isn't the place (however beautiful) it's the Spirit within.Elderberry-Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14197689596360708239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089316062583477747.post-58632254432678838332014-03-16T22:12:14.132+01:002014-03-16T22:12:14.132+01:00We're odd, aren't we?

I find it so reassuring, this Mystery we follow. I love reading the book of Acts because it's so unbelievably powerful. <br />Pollyanna. I know I get my ire up a bit when friends aren't good listeners and invalidate my opinion by "putting on the positive" just for positive's sake. I think our JOY is often just between us and Jesus, not intended to bowl people over. He doesn't need us, but He wants us. Yay! Thank you so much for doing the pause again, dear Floss.Pom Pomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01524994024698986829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4089316062583477747.post-87722485235230698812014-03-16T19:21:19.893+01:002014-03-16T19:21:19.893+01:00That is SUCH a true and good point!!!
