According to Jeff Goins, who started the 'My 500 Words Challenge,' Free-writing is writing without worrying about editing or punctuation or anything else that would keep you from writing. Master the art of silencing the inner critic, letting go of perfectionism, and embracing your art." I highly approve the phrase that he used especially embracing your art. I perceive Art having aesthetic value; creative imagination, a gallery, and landscapes of natural scenic views of people and their works. If one can incorporate all of that in one topic, that is ingenious Art. Today is the first Saturday of the year 2019. I just started going to a prayer fellowship at our church This is an hour of praying for the needs of those that filled out their prayer requests on a card. Last week, I was privileged to pray for five people in my heart, even during my prayer time at home. This morning, people that came had tripled in number. My heart was rejoicing for that good turnout. I love that I witness people's devotion to praying. We still believe that praying is our lifeline to God. Today I got to pray for ten people. It gave me an insight that we all have emotional, physical, financial, and spiritual needs. And we should not be ashamed to ask people to pray for us. We are here to lift each other up and edify one another. To me, praying for someone to be healed from an illness, restoration of broken relationships intervened by God, and unsaved family members to be saved had done me good. Leaving the church this morning put me to ease... leading me to do my grocery shopping. I don't know if it was just coincidence or what. All the people I came to contact with whether in passing or having an intentional conversation with the clerk or grocer or the parking lot attendant, the florist, the baker, and the banker; they all seemed so nice in their dealings with me. I couldn't believe my eyes that at the grocery store, no one has tried to intimidate me or rude to me. There were countless times that whenever I go to any grocery store, people are just rude, very oblivious of what they're doing. Gone are those days when the mantra is respect and using "Excuse me, I'm sorry and Thank You is a given. But Today is very Special. I got to see and experience the extension of prayer. I have my faith that because I immersed myself in praying others' needs that the Lord wanted me to see that we can cultivate goodness in people no matter what their cultural background and social strata in life. For this, I am thankful that His grace is sufficient, His mercies are new in the morning and that His love is unfailing. Thus, I am admonished to share 2 Chronicles 7;14 (NIV) which says, " If my people who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Thank You for your time and Good Night! |
