Listening to the Spirit
"Fresh Crab and French Bread" (June 1985), by Garnee Faulkner, had a profound impact on me, and I've never forgotten it. It taught me a lesson on listening to the Spirit and following spiritual promptings: it is often through others that our prayers are answered, and if we don't listen to the Spirit, we might miss the opportunity to bless another's life. After reading this article, I have tried to pay careful attention to the whisperings of the Spirit and to act on those promptings. A gift, an act of service, a phone call, or a handwritten note is often the result of a spiritual prompting. I hope that by following Sister Faulkner's example I can be better at listening to the still, small voice.
