This Thursday, l listened as one lady described the relationship between her grandfather and grandmother. “ In a culture where men do not come near the kitchen smoke, he would bring his chair in the kitchen and sat by his wife as she prepared the food. He would offer her a piece passion fruit with words of affirmation. The two would enjoy all sorts of conversation for hours. They had aged but lived with one another like young lovers.”
As I listened to this picture, I thought about prayer. Prayer is not just asking God for things, it is also about relationship. When you love someone you want to spend time with them, you want to talk to them; you want to affirm their goodness and to hear their words of affirmation.
Take time to just commune with God like these two old lovers; that too is prayer.
