Hello my friends! Well I'm here for a short time now, after I get this thread to you, I'm going to take a nap and then go back to Darla's house for the night so she can sleep tonight and have a good restful day tomorrow. Plans are that Lori will be giving her a massage tomorrow sometime, and take her shopping. Good for her to get out. Tonight is their 4th Anniversary and they are going out to Dinner with the gift cert. from us and Lori is baby sitting her little nieces. We will relieve her around 9:30 as we come for the night, and hopefully the twins will be good and not fussy and just get up for their feedings like they have for us the last two times. They seem to be fussy for Darla often during the night. Wishing you all a very blessed Friday and beginning of the weekend.
When you can't seem to be a shining example, at least twinkle a little.
Lord, when I am weary, You are there. When I am weak, You are there.
When I stumble, You are always ready to pick me up.

"I know that I will remain and continue with all of you for your
progress and joy in faith, so that I may share abundantly in your
boasting in Christ Jesus when I come to you again. Only, live your life
in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that, whether I come and
see you or am absent and hear about you, I will know that you are
standing firm in one spirit, striving side by side with one mind for the
faith of the gospel, and are in no way intimidated by your opponents.
For them this is evidence of their destruction, but of your salvation."
~Philippians 1:25-28

Spiritual progress is the law of our being. We can try to see around us
more and more of beauty and truth, knowledge and power. Today we can
try to be stronger, braver, more loving as a result of what we did
yesterday. This law of spiritual progress gives meaning and purpose to
our lives. We can always expect better things ahead. We can accomplish
much good through the strength of God's spirit in us. We need not be
discouraged. The world is sure to get better, in spite of setbacks of
war, hate, and greed. We can be part of the cure of the world's ills,
rather than part of the disease.

A Prayer When You Feel Worried and Uncertain
O Lord, each of us has fears that betray; worries that capture and shake out our joy. We find ourselves in limbo because we are neither here nor there. We are in a time of transition, of getting ready. Change and chance surround us. Help us, O Lord, to return to Your Presence. Cause us to find the point and purpose of each day. All we ask is that You keep us on our feet so that we may walk with You. Bless us this night and grant us rest. Amen.
A little boy's hand got stuck in a bottle and his parents tried their best to get his hand out and they couldn't, the only choice left was to break the bottle, but before the father asked his son to open his hand and slowly try to get it out and the boy replied: "If I open my hand, I will drop the dollar?"
Dear Lord,
here we are on this earth,
our total freedom is attached to material objects,
we try to forget about it and make you the center of our lives, but we fail.
Help us Lord to focus on you as our treasure
and not let go of your love and grace,
and just then we'll find freedom and happiness. Teach us love.
Amen

Luke 12:15 - And he went on to say to them all, "Watch out and guard yourselves from every kind of greed; because a person's true life is not made up of the things he owns, no matter how rich he may be."
Ecclesiastes 5:10 - If you love money, you will never be satisfied; if you long to be rich, you will never get all you want. It is useless.
Ecclesiastes 6:9 - It is better to be satisfied with what you have than to be always wanting something else.

Prayer to Our Lady of Mental Peace
O Lady of Mental Peace, Mother of Tranquility and Mother of Hope, look upon me in this time of my weakness and unrest.
O Lady of Mental Peace, Mother of Tranquility and Mother of Hope, look upon me in this time of my weakness and unrest.
Teach my searching heart to know that God's Love for me is unchanging and unchangeable, and, that true human love can only begin and grow by touching His Love.
Let your gentle Peace --- which this world cannot give -- be always with me. And, help me to bring this same Peace into the lives of others.
Our Lady of Mental Peace, Pray for me!
August 25 - Jesus Calling
I AM THE ETERNAL I AM; I always have been, and I always will be. In My Presence you experience Love and Light, Peace and Joy. I am intimately involved in all your moments, and I am training you to be aware of Me at all times. Your assignment is to collaborate with Me in this training process.
I have taken up residence within you; I am central in your innermost being. Your mind goes off in tangents from its holy Center, time after time. Do not be alarmed by your inability to remain focused on Me. Simply bring your thoughts gently back to Me each time they wander. The quickest way to redirect your mind to me is to whisper My Name.
EXODUS 3:14
God said to Moses, "I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you."
1 CORINTHIANS 3:16
Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?
PSALM 25:14-15
The LORD confides in those who fear him;
he makes his covenant known to them.
My eyes are ever on the LORD,
for only he will release my feet from the snare.
