Listening to God

Years back, we were given a used book about making gingerbread houses.  It started an annual tradition which culminated each New Year's Eve with the breaking of our gingerbread house at midnight.  After baby #5 was born, this tradition waned.

This year, I was praying about our family times at Christmas.  Into my mind popped the thought of making a gingerbread house.  So, I put aside the baking of delectables for family and friends and reinstated the gingerbread house tradition.  There were some beautiful moments of decorating and, yes, destroying that brought our children of many ages all together to focus on one fun project. 

It was a reminder to me: Take the time to pray about things and listen to God.

Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.  [Jeremiah 33: 3]
