This was the summary advice I was given when I asked a retired pastor who is nearing 90 years old to give me a word of wisdom. He focused on the question and explained further. Let the Spirit guide every detail of your life. Keep open to His words and His ways.

I don’t want to just give a cursory mental nod to this counsel. I want to practice a conversational life style that listens to the Holy Spirit, asks for discernment and thanks Him for allowing me to “catch” Him in acts of provision and protection.

I wonder what His plans are for the New Year.  May it be a year of wonder!
