Taking a quiet walk to experience focused listening

     After a very busy week I took time out to hit my favorite trail in Peters Township (which is also a quick walk from my front door) and spend a few moments breathing in fresh air and simply listening to nature.  Most of my walks I have my Christian tunes blasting in my ears, but this particular day I decided to just walk and have some "focused listening" as I impressed upon my ladies during a retreat this past weekend.  After all, if you suggest it, you'd should put it into action!
  Now before I continue I want to comment I have never heard the audible voice of God thundering from the sky.  More times than not it's the blessing of something I have always enjoyed like a gentle tug on my heart reminding me how blessed I am; the sweet fragrance of a favorite flower, or maybe a bird's familiar song that fills my heart with contentment and peace.   I'm of the opinion God speaks to us in numerous ways.  He is our Creator, the Maker of Heaven and earth and He has placed on display beautiful colors, smells and tastes for our enjoyment.  So, what are you waiting for?  Come and walk with me....ENJOY!
