Hello my friends! Hope you are doing okay in the snow storm states! Stay warm and take care! Thinking of you all with prayer. Today we got up to 40 degrees!! Unreal for January! Last year it was way below zero if I remember right. That was a big blessing for today! Also didn't have to cook - still left over pork pot roast - added more carrots and potatoes to it, and we had that for lunch - think I'll put the rest in the freezer for another time. Salad for supper tonight when he gets home from work, Mondays he works till 8 PM. He's on his way home now, he just called. Remember I had you all pray for Monica for successful surgery on her ear - and it was good, pray she has a good doctor's appt. at the University of Minnesota on Wednesday, and also for my sister, Deil, for she goes to her doctor on Wednesday too for her foot/toe, the corn. Wishing you all good night and see you tomorrow sometime!
St. Angela Merici
Healing Lord, during a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, Saint Angela experienced a major devastation; she became blind. Yet she insisted on continuing the pilgrimage with devotion and enthusiasm. In my journey through this world, and in the journeys of everyone I know-especially the handicapped and disabled-help us to continue onward when adversities hit. Renew our zeal for spiritual growth. You restored Saint Angela's sight; teach us to know that Your healing love is with us even when we don't get the cures we want. Use everything to bring us closer to You. Saint Angela, pray for us. Amen.
Prayer for Peace to Mary, the Light of Hope
<p style="text-align: center;">Immaculate Heart of Mary,<br /> help us to conquer the menace of evil,<br /> which so easily takes root<br /> in the hearts of the people of today,<br /> and whose immeasurable effects already<br /> weigh down upon our modern world<br /> and seem to block the paths toward the future. <p style="text-align: center;">From famine and war, deliver us.<br /> From nuclear war, from incalculable self destruction,<br /> from every kind of war, deliver us.<br /> From sins against human life from its very beginning,<br /> deliver us.<br /> From hatred and from the demeaning of the dignity<br /> of the children of God, deliver us.<br /> From readiness to trample on the commandments<br /> of God, deliver us.<br /> From the loss of awareness of good and evil,<br /> deliver us.<br /> From sins against the Holy Spirit,<br /> deliver us. <p style="text-align: center;">Accept, O Mother of Christ,<br /> this cry laden with the sufferings of all individual<br /> human beings, laden with the sufferings<br /> of whole societies.<br /> Help us with the power of the Holy Spirit conquer all<br /> sin:<br /> individual sin and the "sin of the world,"<br /> sin in all its manifestations. <p style="text-align: center;">Let there be revealed once more in the history of the<br /> world the infinite saving power of the redemption:<br /> the power of the merciful love.<br /> May it put a stop to evil.<br /> May it transform consciences.<br /> May your Immaculate Heart<br /> reveal for all the light of hope. <p style="text-align: center;">Amen. <p style="text-align: center;"><em>Pope John Paul II</em> <p style="text-align: center;"><em><br /></em> <p style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">January 26 <p style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">Give up the illusion that you deserve a problem-free life. Part of you is still hungering for the resolution of all difficulties. This is a false hope! As I told My disciples, in the world you will have trouble. Link your hope not to problem solving in this life but to the promise of an eternity of problem-free life in heaven. Instead of seeking perfection in this fallen world, pour your energy into seeking Me: the Perfect One. <p style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">It is possible to enjoy Me and glorify Me in the midst of adverse circumstances. In fact, My Light shines most brightly through believers who trust Me in the dark. That kind of trust is supernatural: a production of My indwelling Spirit. When things seem all wrong, trust Me anyway. I am much less interested in right circumstances than in right responses to whatever comes your way. <p style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”<br /> —John 16:33 <p style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for the gracious and compassionate and righteous man… He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.<br /> —Psalm 112:4, 7 - From Jesus Calling

Very happy that once again our weather people were wrong. They had been predicting from 20" down to 12". Got up this morning and if we got an inch it was a lot. I'm not disappointed I love when they are wrong.
Gloria, still praying for Monica and for Deil today.
Blessings to all.

We are being hit with all this snow. Yesterday I had someone come over and clean my sidewalk and clean off my car and now it needs done again. It is snowing again right now.
Blessings to all.
Gloria I will pray for your sister and friend... HAVE A GOOD DAY.

They were wrong, very wrong! We in NJ got about 6-8 inches of the predicted 20 plus predicted. But the tip of Long Island did get most of the brunt of the storm.
Hope everyone who was hit the hardest stays safe and warm. Everyone have a good day.

Hi Gang!
Harlene, BobbieSue, and Shorelady, I hope the snowfall amounts that you end up with are far less than expected. We had another inch or two fall since the afternoon hours yesterday, but have had a beautiful sunny day all day. It's quite cold, but so much better than last years weeks of zero or below for weeks on end.
Gloria: I wish we had close to your 40 degrees! Your pork roast dinner sounds so good! We just had the "supper discussion" here a few minutes ago. It happens when I have no clue what to make already. He's fine with sandwiches, maybe french toast, and I'm good with that.
I've been feeding some of the birds and squirrels in the mornings since they don't have much food around right now. It's so neat to watch them, and the cats just crouch down by the door and watch them intently. One squirrel started to come over to see them, and our littlest cat backed right away. Poor thing can be scared of his own shadow sometimes. There are two birdhouses I have to repair for spring, but want to do it outside when we have a warmer day. Not really wanting any surprise "company"! Have a good evening. Hugs to all, pinky

Hi everyone! Just noticed how awful the thread looks, didn't see that before! Sorry, I don't know how that happened. I'm embarrassed!
Hope your snow wasn't too much today - and that you were missed the hard hit!
Pinky - how nice of you to be feeding the birds and squirrels! Too much ice in our back porch for me to even venture out there, on that granite - Sammy falls down, but he doesn't have far to fall and doesn't get hurt! He just gets right up and goes. We are enjoying the warmer temps for sure compared to last year!
