10 Ways to Bee Open to God
Listening to God
Is a daily endeavor
It takes intention
His Words are clever
God speaks through Jesus
Jesus, His Holy Son
And He speaks through the Spirit
The Holy Spirit, that’s the One!
Listening to God
Takes a willing heart
It takes a willing spirit
Here’s the way to start:
- Bee still
- Bee open
- Bee teachable
- Bee attentive
- Bee humble
- Bee submissive
- Bee expectant
- Bee responsive
- Bee-lieve
- Bee-ware… and aware!
Bee silent – listen – and JUST LOVE!
Isaiah 50:4
“The Sovereign Lord has given me a well-instructed tongue,
to know the word that sustains the weary.
He wakens me morning by morning,
wakens my ear to listen like one being instructed.”
Does the Lord “waken your ear” each morning to listen? Every morning my friend, Lisa, who lives across the continent from me – over on the east coast – sends me a picture of where she is and assures me that she has me in prayers. Her pictures show me a scene so different from my own.
Each One Has Their Own Way
In our different environments, each of us is listening and praying. Each of us in our own way. We are open to God’s word – and open to whatever message He has for our day. We share special prayers for one another. It is a beautiful way to start each day.
Do you have a special friend who helps you to Bee more open, teachable, and attentive?
Do you have a system for Beeing more expectant and responsive?
If so, I’d love to have you share with me ways you are open to hearing God speak to you each day.
Through His Word and through music, God speaks to me most clearly. How about you? Which of those ten “Bees” are most helpful to you when you want to tune in to God’s voice?
Have a Fabulous Friday, my friends.
Bee well!
See ya later.

Love is Levitating
Love lifts me higher
Yes, love is levitating
Love lifts others, too
Let love be your name
May your words and actions lift
Be “Love in Action”
Be love mindfully
Be in a state of presence
You are a present!
God empowers you
With open heart, just connect
Feel the resilience
Love’s stabilizing
It is God’s underpinning
A sure foundation
Be a messenger
With words of love, peace, and hope
Embody God’s love
A Prayer for Grace
Amen

Lead me to be a vessel

the way that
You love them.”

Ya just gotta get better.
Can’t live without you!
With COVID-19,
Too many lives are now lost –
Many in peril.
Be patient, my friends.
Please don’t open up too soon.
Keep yourself healthy.

When your own strength has left you?
I gain strength from God.

In little things around me,
And I pray a lot!

Lead Us By Your Grace
Lead us by Your Grace
Guide us so that we’ll be safe.
Yes, Lord! We need your guidance
Now more than ever.
Enjoy this beautiful rendition of
THE PRAYER.
Let it touch your heart as it did mine.
Hebrews 4:16
“Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness,
so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”
Where is our go-to hearth?
We may all tilt toward the screen.
Is it a bright light?
Does it reflect grace
When we addictively turn
To the media?
Social media
Can be a wonderful tool,
For we have choices.
Grace is never far;
It can be undetected
If we choose poorly.
Grace is on our screens
If we know where we should look.
See posts who tag “GRACE.”
I know grace is mine.
I feel it daily with thanks.
I share it with you.
Grace is comforting.
It’s an expression of care.
It gently lifts us.
Grace is God’s great gift.
It is delivered freely.
Accept it with love.
In these days of Pandemic Pandemonium,
Don’t succumb to the chaos!
Know that God hears and He is with you.
Find comfort in His Grace.
We will emerge a stronger, more loving world.
Where have you seen God’s grace
at work in your community,
in your home,
in your heart
this week?
Tell me about it.
See ya tomorrow…
– meantime, I’m holding grace lovingly,
and letting it seep through my fingers to you!
Smile!
We will get through this together.
