Following the Prompting

In the last post, I wrote about a prompting I'd recieved. I had an impression to compile quotes and send one to my brother each day. I just wanted to say that I'm doing it. I've thought about doing it several times over the last few years but I was always more concerned I guess with how he would react. This time, I just decided that I loved him more than I cared about how he felt for me. If I offend him, if he gets angry with me, if he feels like I'm judging him....I can live with those. What I can't live with would be the regret that I did not do all I could to help him find the joy and peace that I so long to see him have in his life. So, it has begun. I started around the first of the year. I don't know what the results will be. A few times he has replied that he likes a particular one, but other than that I don't even know if it has any impact on him. But I feel at peace. I don't know what the outcome of it will be, but I do know that I'm doing what the Lord wants me to do.
