Sharing Jesus

If we consider all that God has done for us in the past, we might begin to understand that there is nothing we haven't been given. And once we know we have it all, it's only natural to want to share that with others. This Christmas, bring that little bit of Jesus you carry in your heart wherever he directs you. — from A Mary Christmas

Ask whatever you will, and it will be done...John 15:7

We know that when we live in the Lord, and think as he thinks, and are guided by his word...we are "spiritual" persons who let nothing alter our innermost peace (the place of predilection for our Lord and King is our hearts...)

So, whatever we ask for ...we will receive - since it is "according to God's will"

I've learned to order my life according to God's will for me...always following my GPS (God's Providential Steering).

Have you checked your GPS today?

Keep Me Focused, Lord

Time is what I pray about most.
The older I get, the more I appreciate the preciousness of time.
I only have so much of it allotted to me, and there are no reruns.
I have to be busy attending to my Father's work before the sand in my hourglass runs out.

— from Envoy for Christ

Providing for Others

Lord, we long to serve you and to provide for those persons entrusted to our care. Give us the strength and confidence to continue along the path you have prepared for us, and help us find the means to support ourselves.

— from The Blessing Cup

Living with Challenges...

One of the best ways to cope with or live through healthy challenges is through the gift of our faith, weaving spirituality and prayer...through the fabric of our health.

Sometimes the best medicine doesn't come from the earthly doctor.
The main Doctor gives the best prescription - for LIFE!!!

Make Prayer a Priority

 

We want to be healed and fueled by prayer. To pray well and maturely, schedule a special, nonnegotiable daily appointment with God. It is a time to praise him, thank him, and listen to him— to be open to what God wants to whisper into the depths of your heart and soul. — from Catholic and Confident

Pray Every Day...

Pray every day—giving God quality time, not a moment here and there, sandwiched between e-mails and phone calls and work and play. Have a daily date with God, a time that is sacred to you and Him. Let nothing except a real emergency deny you that time with God.

Our Greatest Goal

What is the greatest “fruit” that a follower and friend of Jesus could bear, the greatest work he or she could do? To help others attain eternal salvation!

We remember our departed loved ones...

Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed
Today should be like any other day in that we are living the gift of life...

However, in particular, we honor, remember and celebrate the gift of the presence (in our lives) of our departed family, friends and loved ones.

I miss my dear mother and father, very much...
I pray for them, and with them every day...
I praise the Lord for the precious gift they have been to me...
