I heard the Lord say, "Hello"



 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork.
Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night reveals knowledge.

-          Psalm 19:1-2

I heard the Lord say “hello” this morning.   I heard Him in the sweet voice of my granddaughter who awoke from a good night’s rest and cheerfully talking to herself.  I also heard Him say “hello” as I watched the sun peeking over the tall Florida pines to tell me a new and blessed day has arrived.  Actually, I have heard my Lord say “hello” already several times even though it is still early morning.   Even now I hear Him through the crowing of our neighbor’s big red rooster and through the obvious results of a well-needed and refreshing rain last evening.  What a joy to have a God who welcomes me each day into His incredible creation and reminds me time and again of His presence through His blessed, “hellos.”  If you have not heard His voice say “hello” to you this morning then I encourage you to stop and listen.  He is speaking all around you.
