ONCE UPON A TIME

Where to begin...One day many years ago, when I was in the bowels of despair, and after crying and not knowing which way to turn, I prayed my special way so Heavenly Father would know I was at my wits’ end, praying on my knees. I heard a voice in my head saying, “Open your Edgar Casey* book and read what is written on that page.” So I laughed to myself saying, “Oh yes, cures for hemorrhoids and hang nails, etc.,” but the voice in my head was quite insistent, so upon finding the book in my bookcase, I opened it to a random page and there, much to my surprise, I was reminded... "Be not dismayed. But do with a heart that fainteth not for I am the way, the truth and the light. Be not afraid. Consider the lilies how they grow. They toil not, neither do they spin, yet Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed as one of these.” In other words, I should not take anxious thought but just have faith that all would be well. How often I worry and forget not to just hold tight to God’s hand. God speaks in mysterious ways. Who am I to question where He says to look for guidance and help. 


*Edgar Casey was a Methodist Sunday school teacher, living in the 1900’s and had visions that helped ill persons.
