I get great joy from my son, watching him evolve in his body,mind and spirit. He walks the path to the lord as I do,he had a rebirth about six months ago...he had an experience at his summer job that has had a profound effect on him.
For about half of his life he has seen the books that I have...which is basically a study on comparative religion. Although he has been exposed to these different religions, I purposely never broached the subject with him,(i did not want to influence him) I answered only direct questions, which were few and far between. Now he asks me direct questions and has asked to read several of these books.
This is where this long winded answer is headed. When we sit down and have direct talks about God...there is a shared joy that is hard to describe...sometimes the presence of the Holy Spirit is palpable...it is really quite extraordinary, and many times it goes deep into the wee hours of the morning.
Is that not joyfull? we are both uplifted from these talks. I am amazed at what comes out of my mouth...so many times the words are not my own...and often the words are not just for my son , but for me as well. They serve as a gentle reminder to kind of stay the course. To try to keep myself empty of myself, that I may be an empty vessel for the Lords use.
To use a phrase from Realistic... O Lordy...I HAVE grown long winded these days.
