I loved the quote from Mother Teresa, it cracked me up! But I also appreciate your honesty. I have to admit I have been skeptical about this gift in the past, then thinking well they are recognizable tongues. But now your story demonstrates, again, that God is much bigger than we can imagine!

I didn’t know you’d met her, and I love that she had her little judgments, her little imperfections. Yes, yes. Beautiful post Anita. Thank you for sharing!

My goodness, what a beautiful and hopeful thought–that though the tongue is an unruly member which no man can tame, it can be tamed by the power of Jesus.
Since I grew up Catholic, and am now evangelical, I never dreamed of taking it for granted. It’s still strange and wonderful to me!

I’m glad you’ve shared in community with us at #TellHisStory. I laughed out loud at the part where you asked to specifically NOT receive the gift of tongues. Isn’t that often the way of God? How we get what we never asked for, and later find it to be a beautiful gift from our Creator? Thanks again for your participation.
