MIRACLES STILL HAPPEN

Wake up world the weekend is here. It is not light outside yet, and still very quiet. I think even the early birds know its the weekend as I have not heard one peep from any of them yet.

I enter Blogland this morning very tentivly, looking around as I venture in with baby steps. For you see this is one of those mornings when I have nothing to say at all. Don't holler, I know that we all know I always have something to say. Its just I have no clear cut idea on what I should write.

I wrote yesterday about praying for my family and how sometimes only silence comes back to mock me. But sometimes answers to prayers can come quickly. I was talking to my sister yesterday afternoon while I sat in the swing. I told her I was just sitting outside as I hated to go into the house for I knew the Emperor was going to yell at me about something. I will pray she said that he will not holler. "Listen," I told her, "Maybe you better just pray I will keep my mouth shut." Though both of them seem a pretty big miracle to ask for. The Emperor and I neither one are known for being quiet.

Finally I went in and sure enough. He started on just the subject I knew he would. Then the miracle happened. So I know for sure they now they still do. I didn't say anything back. Not nary a word. It surprised me. I think it surprised him even more. He was confused. The Emperor doesn't get confused too often. He tried harder. Saying the words that usually can instantly push my buttons. I never said anything. The most surprising was that I didn't want too. There was none of the angry words I shoot back at hurt feelings. A miracle had occured. I kept my mouth shut. I think I heard shouting in heaven.

Now I'm not going to say this prayer of my sister's will always work. The prayer for me to keep my mouth shut. Miracles might not be able to be happen everyday. But for yesterday it worked. And then the most amazing thing of all happened. The Emperor ran out of steam pretty fast, when I did not heat the exchange up with my angry retorts. Maybe silence is golden after all.

So you might take my little experoence into use sometime. If all the forces seem to be gathering against you and angry words surround you. Just be quiet, very quiet. The results were amazing. Oh yes you might want to ask my sister to pray for you too. It seems to work. But for now I will slowly edge back out of Blogland. The words I am leaving behind are not great or worthy of repeating. But for today its all I have, so for now I'm outta here.
