Hearing Aid
READ:
1 Samuel 3:1-10It shall be, if He calls you, that you must say, “Speak, LORD, for Your servant hears.” —1 Samuel 3:9 Joshua, a precocious 2-year-old, watched his mother baking cookies. “Please, may I have one?” he asked hopefully. “Not before supper,” his mother replied. Joshua ran tearfully to his room, then reappeared with this message: “Jesus just told me it’s okay to have a cookie now.” “Jesus didn’t tell me,” his mother retorted. Joshua replied, “You must not have been listening!”
Joshua’s motivation was wrong, but he was absolutely right about two things: God longs to speak to us, and we need to listen.
In 1 Samuel 3, another young boy learned those same ageless principles. When Samuel followed Eli’s counsel and prayed, “Speak, LORD, for Your servant hears,” he was open to receiving God’s powerful message (v.9). Like Samuel, we long to hear God speaking to us but often fail to discern His voice.
God spoke audibly to Samuel. Today He speaks to us by His Spirit through the Scriptures, other people, and our circumstances. But as a result of neglect and nonstop activity, some of us have become “hard of hearing.” We need a “spiritual hearing aid” like the one in Samuel’s prayer: “Speak, LORD, for Your servant hears” (v.9). This humble attitude is a real help for the spiritually hard of hearing. —Joanie Yoder
Adjusting Your Hearing Aid
Set a specific time to read God’s Word each day.
Meditate on what you have read.
Make prayer a priority throughout the day.

Besides needing despirately to buy a new vacume cleaner tonight and make the bread for the stuffing, I have to empty out my old refrigerator (with all the food for Thursday, including the 20 lb. turkey) because a new one is being delivered tomorrow! Tomorrow night I'll make the pie and tidy the house.
And the best part - Thursday morning the whole family will go to Mass and let God know how thankful we really are.
Then the kids will go to one of the longest-running rivalry football games in the country, while I go home and putter in my kitchen for the rest of the day!

LOVE IT... as one who is "hard of hearing" in both the physical & often the spiritual.. this does speak to me!
Thank you.
Have safe travels Rus, and hopefully some pix to post over the weekend for the weekend Thanksgiving thread by Billie.. I recall last years pix (or whas it the year prior) were very touching.
Good opportunity for four generation pix!

Good mornings, Sistahs,Rus, John & Jim Rob.
Well will 'admit' to sweating bullets piling over the FReep & Email notes from Billie with "instructions" but as usual her great teaching WORKED!
Glad for that since the original thread planned did NOT work out & so scrambling was the rule & having complications with posting/formatting was NOT on the agenda at 2 am !
In/out most of day. HUGS TO ALL
