Walking with my granddaughter

WELCOME Paula Wallace

“They heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day” Genesis 3:8a (NASB)

Walking with my granddaughter is such a special time. We walked to the pier at my house. There was a dragonfly caught in a spiderweb. It was still fluttering, struggling to get out of the web. I began to pull the web from the wings of the dragonfly. As I did, I was talking to the dragonfly to help comfort and calm it or so I imagined.

My granddaughter, Emma, said “you talk to a dragonfly?” “Yes, I do”, was my response. I told her I talk to bugs, frogs, 2 dogs, a kitten and 5 chickens. I even talk to shrubbery and flowers sometimes.

My chickens know my voice and when they hear me they come running to stand at my feet. We walk together while they chatter and seek bugs while I talk. They find comfort and safety in my presence.

At the same time, my mind reflects on Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. They walked and talked with God. I’m certain they greatly anticipated His visit and enjoyed their time together. God found great pleasure in His companionship with them.

Consequently, I must ask the question, do I talk to God? Does God speak to me? Do I listen? The Bible tells us God talks through the Holy Spirit to His followers. Are you listening? Are you obeying?

God loves us just as we are. He longs for that relationship with us. Return to Him – talk to Him – seek His direction and obey!
Are you talking?

About Paula Wallace

A child of God, wife, mother and grandmother of 6 precious children. I love art, nature and treasure my dear friends. Through the valleys and mountaintops, God led me to His saving grace at the age of 32. Since then the valleys and mountaintops have proven His love to me. I am learning to trust Him in all things. My prayer is that you, too, accept Jesus as Lord and Savior and trust Him. The Bible verse that I lean on mostly is Proverbs 3: 5-6 “ Trust in the Lord with all your heart. And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your path.”NKJV Paula Wallace
