Daily Devotion - Thursday, August 11

Daily Devotion
This week’s devotions focus on the theme “Listening To Our Heart”

A story for today: “Chad”

There is a very thoughtful book in our chaplaincy library entitled Chad, written by his father. It is a tribute to Chad who died of a stroke at age 22. The book contains many heart stories from a father, now forced to listen to his heart. Here is one insight; I feel it is a real gem:

“In life we don’t have all of the answers.
We won’t have all of the answers.
Sometimes we have to go forward without the answers.
The answers from the tragedy become clearer----down the road.
We will never understand all of life
before we need to start living life.
We have to live first to learn the answers.”


A prayer for today: God, may I live today fully aware that I can learn more answers as I listen to my heart.
