The Comfort of Quiet

                            

Have you found a quiet place? One without TV? A spot where no  conversation is needed? No email? No social media? A site of total silence?

It's time we found such a place. Take a moment to shut out the noise. 

When you turn off the noise makers such as music, TV, and phone, what do you hear?

If you are home, you might hear the washing machine or dishwasher, or maybe the house settling. If you are outside, you might hear birds chirping. 

Turn your ear to your heart. Listen to what your soul tells you. If negative thoughts intervene, shoo them away. This is your moment to listen to God. Ask Him to speak blessings to you, and then sit back and wait.

What He reveals will flood you with relief, blessing, and energy.

Wating for the Shoe to Drop

Are you tired of waiting for the next thing to happen? 

Me too.

This year has been one of waiting. We wait for Covid-19 to end. We wait for summer to be over. We wait for the election to get here. We'll maybe be done with all the politic rhetoric. We wait for riots and looting to end. 

On a personal note, perhaps we wait for a loved one to call. Or get well. Or visit.

Where's the other shoe? We need two to walk through the ordeals we face.  But alas. We only have one shoe. We're waiting for the other one to drop.

What will it bring with it when it drops? More of the same?

In this day of waiting, it's easy to become discouraged and feel hopeless.

There are Scriptures about waiting.  How about this one? 

Psalms 27:13-14. I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living! Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord. NIV

God has over twenty Scriptures about waiting for Him. He knows it's difficult, but He likes us to walk in patience.

He patiently waits for us to know Him. To trust Him. To love Him. Why shouldn't we wait for Him?

Scriptures are encouraging while we face bad times and wait for them to change. Maybe they'll get better, or maybe they'll get worse. Either way, I want two shoes to walk through these days.

Trouble with Amazon

I usually tell people to go to Amazon and type in Gay N. Lewis and they will find my books.

They haven't been there lately.

You'll see gay novels and info about the gay community.

But what happened to my books?  They are scattered around on Amazon, but they don't appear altogether. I just  found out you must use quotation marks around my name. Type in "Gay N. Lewis" I hope the additional quotation marks do the job.

You can find them on B&N.  Try the Barnes and Noble site. I want you to chuckle with Sarah's antics. We all need that, right?

I'm on other online booksellers also.
