My wife Carol has come to recognize it. Something happens, like that morning when I forgot to turn off the flame under my oatmeal, and she accidentally put the milk in the freezer. She\u2019ll look at me and say, \u201cAre you going to write a devotional about this?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-49251\" alt=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/strength_and_grace.jpg\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/sites\/default\/files\/strength_and_grace.jpg\" style=\"float:right\" width=\"350\" \/>Many of us start our days reading devotionals like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shopguideposts.org\/magazines\/mornings-with-jesus.html?_ga=2.197643183.1660272501.1602510625-444670416.1593709011\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Mornings With Jesus<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shopguideposts.org\/magazines\/strength-and-grace-mag.html?_ga=2.225757338.1660272501.1602510625-444670416.1593709011\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Strength &amp; Grace<\/em><\/a>. Seeking God\u2019s presence in our everyday lives. But writing them, too\u2014like the ones I\u2019ve written for <em>Daily Guideposts<\/em>\u2014is also a spiritual practice. Discovering God in <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/caregiving\/alzheimers-and-dementia\/everyday-coping-for-caregivers\/her-autistic-son-taught-her-to-live-in-the-present\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the here and now<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, that morning Carol put the milk in the freezer. \u201cWhat a stupid thing to do,\u201d I thought. \u201cIs she losing her grip?\u201d Judgmental. Ungenerous. Unkind. And then the tables get turned on me. Leaving the stove burning. Potentially more dangerous than some frozen milk.<\/p>\n<p>I love that we use that word \u201cpractice\u201d when we talk about spiritual growth or prayer. Practice. We\u2019re all learning. I certainly am. With God\u2019s help there is always room for growth. What I\u2019ve found is that putting down those moments is invaluable.<\/p>\n<p>It can be something big\u2014like presiding over <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/friends-and-family\/family\/prayers-for-a-sons-marriage-proposal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">our son\u2019s wedding ceremony<\/a> and getting teary-eyed at the sight of Carol walking down the aisle. Or something small\u2014like fuming over a lost money clip, only to discover it days later when I checked my pockets before doing the laundry.<\/p>\n<p>Did I think, \u201cGod, thank You for helping me find my money clip?\u201d No, the lesson felt bigger than that. More, \u201cGod, why do I worry and fret over little things? Why not <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/faith-prayer-devotions\/overcoming-fear-a-business-owner-copes-with-grief-by-trusting-god\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">simply trust You<\/a>?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The lessons I find can be in chores as simple as washing the windows. I squirt the Windex and wipe with a paper towel, leaning my arm around to get the glass outside, smudged by months of dust, grime, rain and snow.<\/p>\n<p>How surprised I am when I clean the inside of the windows, too. Where did all that muck come from? I wouldn\u2019t have noticed it without my elbow grease and paper towel. The final product, sparkling and clear.<\/p>\n<p>I can almost feel the devotional coming, the message something I need to hear. That change can happen from the inside out, that a clear view comes when I address the muck muddying up my soul.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to be a writer to see the <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/subscription-offers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">devotionals in your life<\/a>. As a reader I find myself nodding, \u201cOh, yes, I know that experience. I\u2019ve done something like that, too.\u201d It\u2019s helpful to underline a phrase or scribble a comment. I\u2019m always grateful for a Bible verse, too, linked to a story. Scripture comes alive when it\u2019s lived.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not writing this simply to get you to a devotional I\u2019ve written and <em>Guideposts<\/em> has published. Sure, that would be nice. But more importantly, look for the <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/daily-devotions\/devotions-for-inspiration\/a-devotion-to-help-you-live-from-your-heart\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">devotional moments in your own life<\/a>. They\u2019re there. As close at hand as a clean washed window or a money clip that was lost and now is found.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I get a certain look on my face.
