Snippets of Faith

Let’s let our angels protect us.

On the morning of my 61st birthday, I looked into my mirrored reflection and wished myself a birthday greeting. I thought, “Wow, 61. How did that happen?” And “the whisper” from God answered.

What selfless gestures could we practice unseen on friends, family, neighbors, coworkers, yes even strangers?

God finds us as he needs us … or rather, as we need him. Let’s continue to browse the appropriate channels of life, tune him in, turn up the volume, and sit back and listen.

Think about the ways you are like your father, whether he is here or in heaven. Consider the good parts you’ve inherited, the ones ingrained in your genes.

My husband says I will never understand what it is like to be the only black person in a room, that I will never understand what it is like when strangers look at him a certain way – he’s absolutely right.
