Today I was thinking over breakfast and remembered an accolade that was given to a friend of mine once, a great tribute really. "Whenever you are talking to him, you always have his full attention."
I didn't think much of remembering that at first.
Then, I started reading my Bible chapters for today. And at the same time making tea, wiping the counter, thinking about a recipe.
Whoa! Suddenly that memory didn't seem so random. Maybe God brought it to mind, so that I would see that I need to give Him my full attention during my devotions. For this morning, I did manage to focus in and finish my reading without doing anything else. I'll endeavor to continue to do that.
Has God ever given you a gentle reminder?

Life is full of little events. Funny how they lead you to thinking about a bigger picture.
