December 18

I often think of my grandmother, how she would talk with God and about God, as simply as with her next-door neighbor. She talked to me when I was a lad, about God as a kindly Father, about Christ as the Head of the house. She had a framed placard hung up which read, “Christ is the head of this house, the Unseen Listener to every conversation. . . ." Christ was around about at all times. He was very near because Grandma and Grandpa practiced religious conversations. In those days they shared their spiritual experiences and talked about the deep things of life. Sharing God brings you closer to Him.
