Margo and Paolo

The Still, Small Voice

Margo with Kiwi on her head, sitting on a bench outside the house, while Grandma comes onto the wraparound porch with a watering can

Oh, I see you two are in your thinking spot. What are you thinking about today?

The Holy Ghost.

Grandma and Margo talking

People say He talks to them in a quiet voice. But I’ve never heard Him! Have you?

Not with my ears. But I hear Him with my heart.

What do you mean?

Closeup of Grandma

Well, the Holy Ghost usually speaks to us through our thoughts and feelings.

When I felt like I shouldn’t go to jiu jitsu on Sunday, was that the Holy Ghost?

I think so! The Holy Ghost helps us make good choices and feel peace.

Margo thinking and then leaning back peacefully with her eyes closed

I guess He does speak to me! I just have to listen.
