Lorraine, truley that was a good story. I asked my husband the question, has God ever spoken to him? He replied a crazy answer, but I know that God speaks to every one. We just have to have the ear to hear and obey the word God speaks. God speaks to me all the time, I dont have much money, but when I have extra children's clothing or basically extra of anything, I find myself hearing a voice in my head saying give this to this family or that one and it truley makes you want to cry when there response to you is like youre the angel that God sent.

God bless you,

Terri J

Thanks for sharing this. How many times have we missed God or getting blessed when he was talking to us and we failed to obey?

Amen!

We are truly blessed when we respond when God speaks to our hearts.

God loves a faithful servant.

God Bless!!!!

I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith. Romans 1:11-12
