A Spot In The Woods 3/18/2020

Good Morning World.

If someone has not told you today that you are loved, let me be the first one. Love to all of you.
Starting my day with a new flavor of coffee for me. It is Door County Heroes. I salute all the healthcare workers who are on the front line fighting the battle with Covid19. I also want to thank those truckers who are driving day and night to supply the world!

Once a year I travel to do a little pheasant hunting in Western Wisconsin with a few good friends. I have been going to the same place for about 25 years. It is just for a day or two. Our outfitter has a lot of acreage that we can hunt. He also has two places where we can sleep. An old farm house which is well equipped and a cabin way back in the woods. I always choose the cabin. It is well equipped and has some bunk beds for sleeping. Often I hear one of my buddies say. "Hey there isn't any cell phone reception here." I think to myself "I know and isn't that nice?" Quiet!!!!  For a few years I actually have been heading up there the night before with just my dog (Gibbs), a study book, a bible, and me. The other guys arrive the next day just before noon. Now I am not anti social but I am always 7 kinds of busy. I go there alone to binge on time with God, pray and listen to Him. This year I won't be going.

Jeremiah 33:3

'Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.'

I look forward to the guys arriving. I do miss my wife and home but sometimes you just need that quiet place alone with God. I do have quiet times at home but some how there is always a distraction or two.

Mark 1:35-37

³⁵ Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed. ³⁶ And Simon and those who were with Him searched for Him. ³⁷ When they found Him, they said to Him, “Everyone is looking for You.”

Where do you go to get this kind of time with God? I have to say that I know it is important to do so.
Find a place, a park for an hour, a spot by a lake, a closet, your favorite spot! You think you are alone there, but you aren't. God is with you!

Go today in peace. Have a great day.
