Ah, the benefits of technology.
When we sold our home in Tennessee, prospective buyers could take a virtual tour of our home. With the click of a button, buyers could walk through almost every part of our home. Virtual footsteps were all over our house.
Earlier this month, I talked to my son via Skype. Somehow we were able connect in cyber space from Lexington to Sweden. For almost an hour, we chatted. Then, on Facebook, he mentions that he has a cold. In minutes, he has over fifteen remedies. Suggestions posted on Facebook included the following: get rest, drink liquids, gargle with hot water, folk remedies, and over the counter cold products. Most recently, a friend has posted pictures of her newborn son. Remembering past entries, I have been able to enjoy vacation pictures, pictures of my great niece’s first day of kindergarten, and pictures of my daughter and son in law.
A favorite technology tool of my sister is sending text messages. She sends encouraging scriptures every morning. In her text message, she shares a scripture or encouraging thought. As a result of her messages, as sisters, we grow closer together. We focus on God’s word and His direction in our lives.
Another benefit of technology, you can take advantage of valuable information and free resources. One of my favorite devotionals is “Morning and Evening” by Charles Spurgeon. This is devotional resources is free and available online. This devotional may be a welcome addition to your morning and evening.
