"surprises"

"I will sprinkle clean water on

you, and you shall be clean."

ezekiel 36

new heart and spirit.

self-will abandoned.

just what i long for.

to be like Jesus.

the gal behind the front counter

at my beauty shop is darling.

when i was in saturday, i noticed

her nail polish. mentioned that

i loved it...no acrylics. just

polish on nail.

"ann, do you want me

to do your nails?"

she whispered that it was

so slow...saturday afternoon..and

she was bored.

she was carefully polishing.

"linda, do you have a personal

faith?  a spiritual relationship

with Jesus?"

"well, i was raised catholic, but

i don't go to church....."

an ordinary day.

started like all the rest.

a prayer first thing:

"Jesus, i am just ann.

one ordinary woman.

please give me someone

to love to You, today."

surprises!

i love them.

the pure, untarnished

moments when Jesus taps

you on the shoulder, and

reminds you this is one of

those moments for Him.

oh, it is the greatest stuff

in all my life.  loving and

serving Jesus.

be watching.

listening.

quiet enough to know

when God has set up the

perfect setting to share Him.

i so love you all.

thanks again for your loving

comments.  forgive me for

not responding personally

more often.  your words keep

me going.
