Peace of Jesus be with you all!! Today's blessings - Our 10:30 Mass - very beautiful, and Jeremy, our friend who was here Thursday for lunch, did the Homily and a very super job! He'll be a good priest next year. We're kinda making it a habit of staying for coffee and donuts for visiting after Mass, even if we don't have donuts, good for visiting with parishioners. It's been a very relaxing day and cooler out - a good thing! What are your blessings? Always count your blessings!

God knows what is best for you in all matters of your life. Rely on His
wisdom.
Lord, I place my trust in You because You answer every prayer.

Scripture for the day:

"He drew me up from the desolate pit, out of the miry bog, and set my
feet upon a rock, making my steps secure." ~Psalm 40:2

Meditation for the day:

"He drew me up from the desolate pit, out of the miry bog, and set my
feet upon a rock, making my steps secure." The first part, "He
brought me up out of a horrible pit," means that by turning to God and
putting my problems in God's hands, I am able to overcome my sins and
temptations. "He set my feet upon a rock" means that when I trust God
in all things, I have true security." He makes my steps secure,"
means that if I honestly try to live the way God wants me to live, I
will have God's guidance in my daily living.

Prayer for the day:

I pray that my feet may be set upon a rock. I pray that I may rely on
God to guide my comings and goings.

What if,
GOD couldn't take the time to bless us today because
we couldn't take the time to thank Him yesterday?

What if,
GOD decided to stop leading us tomorrow because
we didn't follow Him today?

What if,
we never saw another flower bloom because
we grumbled when GOD sent the rain?

What if,
GOD didn't walk with us today because
we failed to recognize it as His day?

What if,
GOD took away the Bible tomorrow because
we would not read it today?

What if,
GOD took away His message because
we failed to listen to the messenger?

What if,
GOD didn't send His only begotten Son because
He wanted us to be prepared to pay the price for sin.

What if,
the door of the church was closed because
we did not open the door of our heart?

What if,
GOD stopped loving and caring for us because
we failed to love and care for others?

What if,
GOD would not hear us today because
we would not listen to Him yesterday?

What if,
GOD answered our prayers the way
we answer His call to service?

What if,
GOD met our needs the way
we give Him our lives???

A Prayer is Something We Give

A prayer is something we give to God
When we want to say Hi.
It's also how we ask for things
When we wish, hope, or cry.

A prayer is something we give ourselves
To ease our troubled mind.
It helps to know we have the ear
Of someone very kind.

A prayer is something we give to friends,
Family, and strangers too.
Prayer is always the answer to
"Is there anything I can do?"

So take the time to pray today
It doesnt matter from whom.
Peace of mind is moments away.
So get to praying soon!
