Quiet Time with God

Yesterday I ran errands. Out and about in traffic; and it seemed everywhere I drove, they were working on the roads with the hot smell of tar and LOUD noise from the machines spreading the tar; not to mention, for some reason the people who stood in the road directing traffic all smoked and you could smell it if your window was down.
The smell of tar and smoke and all the traffic rattled my nerves!

I was listening to K-Love as I always do and the lyrics "I'm coming back to the heart of worship, and it's all about You Jesus; I'm sorry Lord for the things I have made it, when it's all about You,
it's all about You, Jesus."

I started looking at all the people driving in their cars, in a hurry to get where they are going. People honking at others, the smell of the tar, the loud noises of traffic and machines.............

I began to look at each person in the cars around me and wondered "how many of them were giving Jesus the time of day.

"You shall not share Your glory with another; there is no other".

I decided I had enough and needed to go somewhere peaceful. With Jesus on my mind I went home and put my tennis shoes on and went to a place where there was a huge corn field. The country air was filled with the sweet smell of wild flowers and black berries.

Above the corn field there was a ceiling made of white puffy cloud coverage. There were two long open places in the white clouds which opened up to a brilliant blue coloring of sky peeking out.

All was quiet except for a few geese flying over the field on their way to a pond.

Every time the cool breeze tickled my face I smelled the aroma of the black berries and the wild flowers.

I spent a couple of hours there in prayer and peaceful thinking. I could feel the presence of Jesus and his warmth.

I hope everyone can take time out of their busy day to give Jesus the time of day.
