Had spent the afternoon with a friend and we got talking about food. (of course! Always comes up because it is one of my favorite things!) Was telling her lasagna is one meal that everyone in my (rather large) family loves. She says, well, I have a lasagna for you for dinner tonight. The Lord told me to make it and would show me who needed it. She blessed our family by listening too!!

Truthfully Denise, I felt naughty writing it too. (Guess I got over it.)

Hi Peggy, thanks for your comments. Didn’t know you’re a special ed teacher. That’s truly a very special calling, and so appreciated by parents like me. Would love website ideas, I’m all ears. Please e-mail them to allieg8or37@gmail.com. Many thanks for your thoughtfulness and hello to all the Millers.

And all that happened providentially so you could share it with many more of us as well who learned more to “shut up and listen.” (((Hugs)))

I chuckled at your son’s antics. You showed your “humaness” but continued to minister and listen to God despite the obstacles.
I have taught elementary special education for 10 years. I love “my kids” and have learned and grown so much because of them. I would be happy to share many websites I have used to help teach and motivate the children to grasp concepts.

I was moved when I first heard the story, and I am moved again by the memory. I have always believed that God brings people into our lives at just the right moment to teach and to guide us. He has sent you to me so many times when I have needed you most. Sometimes I let the world and people intrude too much, overwhelming me and crushing me with stress. Thank you for the simple, yet powerful reminder to be still and allow His voice to calm and direct me. May God help to guide me to listen more during the coming year.

I especially enjoy listening to you tell it! A reminder that we all need shut up and listen. I feel naughty writing: “shut up”.
