IN MY WORDS – A summer city worker hit a rock with his huge mower which flew into my sister’s car window as she drove by yesterday. I had prayed for her that morning, along with praying for my husband and myself for safety and protection during our day. 

God protected my sister; the rock came through the rear side window and shattered it. It is only God’s protection that saved her from crashing into someone else in traffic when the rock exploded through her window. It could have come through the driver’s window and hit her but the angels prevented it! God protects His children from so much and sometimes we’re not even aware of it. From the major to the minor.

Like the fly in my drink. Enjoying a cold drink of water on an almost-summer day, I picked it up for a few more swallows and happened to look at it first. Yes, Mr. Fly was sunbathing in my glass. Eww…thank God for His protection.

And no, Mr. Fly hadn’t been there before, he must have snuck in while the glass sat on the table as I was immersed in a good novel. I’m grateful for our Savior who protects us from seen and unseen circumstances! How has God protected you lately?

Languid – lacking vigor or vitality. Lacking interest. Pleasantly lazy and calm.

Our word for this month is “languid.” A good description of an interesting character.

It would be fun to match someone who is calm and lazy combined with a person who is high energy hyper. This could produce some interesting scenarios.

Do you have a character in your novel or have you read about someone recently in a book who is “languid?”

Or…do you know someone personally who fits this description? We’ll keep away from actual names to protect the innocent : )

Actually, it sounds like a good word for summer days.

THE WORD – “Your words show what is in your hearts. Good people bring good things out of their hearts, but evil people bring evil things out of their hearts.” Matthew 12:34-35 CEV

Our words. Whether spoken or written. They reveal what is in our hearts.

God help me to have a clean heart, pure and right before Your eyes.

“You must keep all earthly treasures out of your heart, and let Christ be your treasure, and let Him have your heart.” – Charles H. Spurgeon
