Wish there were more.<br /><br />I had sent the prayer one to my son a few months ago and to prepare him for the clothing and so forth I said Schuon was sort of like Gandalf.

Just started "Schuon for Dummies" or whatever it is calle -the intro book that Bob recommends.<br /><br />Schuon looks very much like an aged version of my daughter's boyfriend. It's very odd when he comes to visit.John Lienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02302615225311776021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133335371844144872.post-66048591947247794622014-07-24T12:11:50.260-05:002014-07-24T12:11:50.260-05:00The truth burns.The truth burns.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720790978632771716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133335371844144872.post-72164974799029477382014-07-24T11:56:04.083-05:002014-07-24T11:56:04.083-05:00Ben, your grandmother, like mine, was a wise woman...Ben, your grandmother, like mine, was a wise woman.

It never ceases to amaze me.<br /><br />Rick, that's true. Thanks for the link.

Or in other words, loving God. Then he shows up everywhere, all things become lessons.<br /><br />Works both ways, you can read the Bible with your will pointing the other direction and all you see is bloodshed, slavery, backwards people saying the strangest things and contradiction stacked upon contratiction.John Lienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02302615225311776021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133335371844144872.post-6148823000440834682014-07-23T18:04:09.527-05:002014-07-23T18:04:09.527-05:00"We might expect to hear from the Lord in the..."We might expect to hear from the Lord in the priest’s homily or the teacher’s lesson, but we might be more surprised to find Him in a poem, a piece of music, a work of art, a scene in a movie, a science fiction novel, or some vista of nature."<br /><br />Aye! It truly is amazing all the ways God speaks to us.<br />Even in places one might never expect, as long as we seek we will find Him.<br />I like how you added that we should listen to God as well.<br /><br />Purty hard to listen when I'm talkin'. Over the years my prayers have changed. I often take short or long breaks when I pray to listen. <br /><br />Used to be I would say the entire prayer and then listen, or forget to listen and go about doing something else.<br /><br />My Grandpa used to say "just talk to God like you would talk to me, but make sure you let him get a word in edgewise." <br />Then he would laugh that deep, jolly laugh of his. :)<br /><br />My Grandma would say, "you never know how God will talk to you or who or what He will use to help you but you'll know it when it happens if you love Him. And if you love love Him you will wAit as long as it takes. Be sure to have a thankful heart too. If you don't feel thankful, ask Him to soften your heart."<br />Then she would smile and give me a hug. :)<br /><br />They said many more things, and, sadly, I haven't always listened to their wisdom but I know they were telling me the truth. <br /><br />Anyways, your post today reminded me of them so thank you, Mushroom. <br />God has spoken through your post! :)USS Ben USN (Ret)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07492369604790651538noreply@blogger.com
