Stop and ask:
a painter about her
canvas
a poet about his
rhyme
a singer about his
voice
a philosopher about her
argument
a prophet about his
burden
Then: listen
Stop and ask
a mother about her
daughter
a father about his
son
a soul about her
friend
a lover about the
beloved
a teacher about his
pupils
a patient
about her pain
Then: listen.
Stop...stop, and ask
a Creator about the
creation
a Designer about the
plan
a Lover about his
beloved
a Sufferer about his
pain
Then: listen

The asking is much easier than the listening. In the raging battle it is difficult to find anything resembling peace. Prov 1:5
Come, listen, obey.
Come to Jesus.
Listen to Jesus.
Obey Jesus.
Do not merely come.
Do not merely listen.
Come. Listen. Obey.
See Luke 6:46-49 and the meditation here.
This is why the CC is a favorite destination. God's blessings to you and Mrs. Groothuis at Christmas and the years beyond.
