Do you feel the love?

I was blessed with a weekend away to the mountains thanks to my sister and husband. It came at a time when I benefited greatly from the peaceful atmosphere of getting back to nature. I can relate to Jesus going to places like the mountains to be alone, ask for discernment, and hear The Father. Psalm 27:14 "Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."
As most of you know, I am still learning to be patient and wait. It's a discipline that Type "A" personalities need to constantly work on. As I have become more aware of this in recent months, it has helped to protect me from myself. I have also had some really good friends who have cautioned me just in the nick of time. In previous years, I would have declined the invitation to go to the mountains this weekend--to many things to do. I have decided this year is going to be different.

The cabin was filled with a great balance of quiet, laughter, pleasing conversation and time with The Father. The punch line that kept us light hearted and on task for the desired outcome was the question: "Do you feel the love?" This was our cue that things were getting serious. Wouldn't it be great if the whole world cued each other when things got to serious? Wouldn't this be another interesting experiment to see the impact of how it would change the world?

I believe if the world could be disciplined enough to wait, God's plan and love would far surpass our wildest dreams. So as I move into the New Year going back to work trying to practice what I preach, I am asking myself and those around me...."Do you feel the love?
