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.
