“Grandma,” called my almost five-year old granddaughter from the backseat of the car.

“Yes, Julia,” I replied.

“Grandma, do you know Jesus’ phone number?”

“No darling, I don’t. But sometimes I sure wish I did!”

“Well, how do we talk to Him?”

“Oh,” I said, “we just have to pray — even in our hearts — and He hears us.”

“How do we know what He says back?”

“Julia, Jesus always answers us.  But we hear His answers in our heart. We have to listen very carefully.”

Things were quiet for a few minutes.

“Julia, what are you doing?” I asked.

“Shhhh — Grandma. I’m listening.”

Are you listening today?

“And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice. ”  — 1 Kings 19: 11-12
