It was a great idea, however... When I started the day, though I had great plans to ask Father for constant communication as yesterday, Bonnie took me to work and we were later than usual. So, in the car I was not able to talk with Father as I usually do. I talked with my beautiful wife all the way to work, and that was wonderful, but I missed that special time with my loving Father. Thus, I did not feel that constant presence of Father during the day.
One time during the day, I paused and did feel that what I was doing was correct and wonderful, according to His plan. But the rest of the day went as usual, without that "touch" of the divine. I missed it. As I sit here and write about this day, I know that if I was prepared, asked for it, that sweet feeling of comfort, peace, and knowledge that Father was near, would have been with me throughout the day. So it was my fault.
I believe it would be a great habit to prepare for that Spirit to be with me each day. Then I could cope better, endure better, learn lessons faster, be a tool in Father's hands easily. It is totally up to me. If I would have spent more effort listening and feeling, I probably would have felt Father's presence.
So, tomorrow I am going to plead with Father again on the way to work to touch my mind constantly during the day so I can see His hand in many places during the day.
It reminds me of that quote in a movie where one of the guys says that 90% of the people in the world walk around in a stupor, never seeing the things that are all around them, never seeing beauty, the hand of the Lord. The other 10% walk around in total amazement throughout each day seeing miracles, beauty, the hand of the Lord, and being happy and joyful.
I want to be the 10%. Tonight, my son in law and daughter suggested that I put a song on this blog playing while anyone reads it. They said I should put a song entitled, "Dream Big" on it. It was sung by a Jody Durfee, or a Jackson Dempsey, or something like that and he sings with the rubber bands, or the elastics, or something like that. As you can see, I am not too "up" on remembering nor into rock bands names and such. Anyway, he let me listen to the song, and it is a good song, teaches a great lesson.
Anyway, I do dream big and will continue to do so, as this blog bears witness of. Dream Big, what have we got to lose. Don't know how much bigger I can dream unless I raise that amount to a couple of hundred thousand in the bank when we go on our mission. Dream Big.
