Cough,Cough...

There are not a lot of sure things in this life. I know of 3,death, taxes and my bride will cough after eating ice cream(Brewsters-Em and Bee).Sometimes it's near the end,or after she is done,but it is inevitable,she will cough.She says it's because "it's cold on my throat". I Thes.5:17 says pray without ceasing. Yep, it's in the Bible. How do we do THAT?We have jobs, we have lives,(albeit mine is BORING),places to go,people to see,(I see them only as the money holds out, so I can pay them to spend a little time with me) so how can we pray without ceasing? I read a terrific explanation on that verse in my Bible.It is like someone who has a persistant,intermittant cough. They don't cough all the time,but the potential is always there for them to start coughing. It is the same with prayer. We don't pray all the time, but the potential should be there always. We should be ready to pray short,direct prayers throughout the day.It should be natural,like second nature to us. When those difficult situations arise,pray. When something good happens, pray a prayer of thanks.Prayer should be on the tip of our tongues at all times. After all,prayer is conversation with God. When you talk to Him all the day long, the days aren't long at all. Thank you Elaine for the many spontanious prayers you have prayed.They have been a blessing.
