Equal Inspiration For One and All

I read in the book that everyone receives inspiration everyday. The difference is whether or not people choose to listen to and follow the inspiration they receive. Life just seems to work out for those that choose to listen. This quote has not left my mind. I'm learning that I receive many more subtle thoughts than I realized. Many of them are not earth-shaking bits of revelation. Some of them are just intuition that would be nice if I'd follow it.

Last night, I was thinking of my husband. It was late, and he still had 45 minutes before he was done at work, and I was missing him. I got up to leave them room to do something, and saw my cell phone sitting on the couch next to me. I thought to myself, I should take the phone with me. I brushed it off, because who in the world would call me at 9:17 pm? I was gone 30 seconds from the room and sure enough, my kids tell me that my husband just called to tell me that he got off early and was on his way home, and that his phone battery was dead so he'd just have to see me when he finally got home.

I just about died! A thousand thoughts ran through my head. What if got in a car accident on the way home and that was my last chance to talk to him? What if...? What if...? What if...? Why didn't I just take the lousy phone when I got the SGBD to take it? Fortunately, the powers that be had mercy on me and after two unsuccessful attempts to call him back, I finally got through. He came home safe and all was well. Lesson learned...I hope.
