My beautiful granddaughters are ages 4 and 2.  I am so thankful they live close by so I see them frequently. Last week was very busy for me so I hadn't planned to see them on Tuesday (Dinah watches them on Tuesday morning) – until Zoie called me and little sister Kenzie Rae said “Hi Poppa!”  I can't fully explain what happened – though all you grandparents understand this – once I heard their voices I could NOT stay away.  So I told my staff I'd be back in about an hour and went to see my “sweet baby girls”.

I was amazed by how their voices affected me.  It was as if they reached into my heart and gave it a gentle tug!

Friends, this is how God often speaks to us – like a child's soft voice. If our lives are too cluttered or we are distracted by earthly things (even by good things like a schedule being too tightly packed!) it's so easy for that all-important voice to be lost among all that calls for our attention.

I encourage you to listen for God's voice – to what He's speaking into your spirit – to what He wants to say in order to direct or encourage for this day!
