Spiritual Lessons

“…the deepest spiritual lessons are not learned by his letting us have our way in the end, but by his making us wait, bearing with us in love and patience until we are able to honestly pray what he taught his disciples to pray: Thy will be done.”

Elisabeth Elliot

Lord, it is easier to pray for want I want. Teach me to meet you in that still, small place where I can listen and learn. In the waiting, let my soul be receptive to the lessons you’d have me learn. Teach me to pray in all circumstances, “Thy will be done.”

After raising a family and then teaching for over 20 years, I retired from full-time work. Now I spend time with family, tap dance, take long walks in nature, read, and write. I have published two stories in Chicken Soup for the Soul books and over a dozen devotions. My current goal is to publish a book of meditations over the gospels and to share my devotional writing on my blog. I hope you enjoy and are inspired.
