Your Second Walk
Little One,
For your next walk, I want you to bring your community governmental resources to Me. Prior to your walk, ask some questions… and gather some answers:
1) Where is the library nearest to your house?
2) If you’re at home and you call 911, which fire station would your help come from?
3) If you’re at home and you call for the police, what station would your help come from?
4) If you were sent to court in your community… say, for passing a stopped school bus that is loading children…
I’m not saying I didn’t do that, but I don’t remember doing that. I know better. What should I say today when I go to court?
Are you ever distracted when you drive?
All the time.
How many years have your girls begged you to put your phone down when you drive?
Hey… you’re the one who brought this up…
Technically, YOU did.
Potatoes patatoes… how many times have people called you out about driving distracted?
Tell the judge you don’t remember passing the school bus.
Tell the judge you know better and make a point to never pass stopped school buses.
Tell the judge that you also regularly text and drive, put on your makeup while you’re driving, and eat while you drive.
Tell the judge that you’ve ignored your kids and husband for years when they have called you out about it and you’ve ignored them.
Tell the judge you’ve ignored My gentle reminder of the same for years.
Tell the judge you’ve ignored every billboard that says, “This could be your last text.”
Tell the judge that, despite hearing DOZENS of stories over the years about people who SAY they just looked down for a moment and didn’t see the car in front of them or didn’t see the light turn red who KILLED someone else,you are SUCH AN EXPERT driver that you assume you’re incapable of doing something so reckless.
There are the tears. You get it. Those first couple thoughts didn’t move you at all…
Tell the judge that you have no defense because, if you can’t remember passing a stopped school bus, you were obviously not paying 100% attention to the road. Pay the $165 and whatever court fees you have and don’t complain about it to a soul.
Anyone who asks you how it went, tell them about this conversation and your 100% commitment to pull into a parking lot before you touch this phone for ANYTHING… even to switch to a new song on YouTube.
When you are behind the wheel, treat this phone like 10,000 volts of electricity are running through it and, if you touch it while driving, it will electrocute you.
You have led by example extremely poorly over the years and it’s time to apply radical obedience to the law. Become a stick in the mud. If there’s a rule, abide by it… don’t reason whether or not it should apply to you.
If there’s a rule that would pit you between obeying Me or obeying the law… we can talk. Until then, treat the local authorities with the same level of respect as you treat Me. Don’t worship them, but HONOR them. Their jobs are not easy - don’t make them harder.
Where were we? You’re so good at getting us off track. (Chuckles)
Oh yeah,
4) Where are you going to court today?
By the way, you’ve got 15 minutes to get out the door and I don’t think you should wear that pink towel around you, that pink towel in your hair, and I made raccoon eyes to look like that, not yours.
5) Where is the water cleaned and stored in your community?
6) Where do the trash men take your trash?
When any of these resources are endangered, a community suffers.
The majority of the country is unaware of where their help comes from, both in their local communities and in the spiritual world.
Local:
Library
Fire station
Police station
Courthouse
Water cleaning facility
City dump
Walk around each one of these for 30 minutes one day of the week. On the seventh day, circle each place once. These places are protected and should be respected. You can walk in front of or around the block.
Don’t walk around these buildings. That won’t go well.
Walk NEAR these places.
Walk with your awareness on these places and on Me.
Get going.
LOVE you,
Daddy
