with a band of brothers from around the way. I implore you to lend them your ear, your attention I require. to a topic most vital but not at all dire. The focal point is being a true child of God. What a blessed way to be.
But I urge you to listen to the show. Don't just take it from me. For I am like you who want to have a closer relationship to God. Don't you know? But enough of my chatter and on with the show.
Where do you find yourself going when you're feeling childish? And the bigger question is really: how do we get out of that? How do we respond in a way that's good? The I almost feel compelled to share the story I shared with you guys, but the short version of that... Once you realize You're being childish.
You do have to transition to, okay, I need my father. when this is happening. And uh I Again, the short version, I challenged God. I said, if you love me, you'll do this for me this morning. And he did.
And I major way even though I didn't think there was any way. And that And this was about a cat that I've got a story.
Okay. I think that's why it happened, part of what reason. But a cat I'm very fond of, that's very fond of me, and would wake me up early in the morning scratching on the door to get attention. I would normally do that. The cat quit a couple weeks ago and has been wandering around the neighborhood a lot more.
And this morning I woke up with a terrible dream that the this as a kitten, the cat, was in my hand. And my immediate interpretation was... Yeah, Coley's dead. And The enemy planted it and it seated and that's when I said, God, if you love me, That isn't true. And He hadn't she hadn't scratched at the door in quite a while, but This morning at about five, and that's fairly normal.
And I'm usually up around that time, so that's okay. I heard the scratch. I hadn't heard it in a couple of weeks, I think. and went and got loved on by the cat and by God and I immediately thanked him. And I think thankfulness is a big part of being a child.
And you recognize that love got to you. Jim had the cat scratch fever.
So from the Guides of Masculine Journey, I'm Keith and we'll see you down the road.
