Greetings my friends!! Hope you all are having a great Sunday! It was a laid back day for me, we played some Canasta, and he won!! Now he's watching the SuperBowl. For lunch today he made a pork roast in the oven, on convection bake, put it in before Mass and it was delicious when we got home. I just added some potatoes and veggies then and we had a good meal! Wishing you all a great next week filled with many blessings that God wants to give!!
If everyone thought alike, no one would have to do much thinking.
Lord, bless me with the strength of my convictions and the ability
to disagree when necessary without being disagreeable.

"Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to
give you the kingdom." ~Luke 12:32
M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y
The life-line, the line of rescue, is the line from the soul to God.
On
one end of the life-line is our faith and on the other end is God's power.
It can be a strong line and no soul can be overwhelmed who is linked to God
by it. I can trust in this life-line and never be afraid. God can save me
from doing wrong and from the cares and troubles of life. I can look to God
for help and trust God for aid when I am emotionally upset.
P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y
I pray that no lack of trust of fearfulness will make me disloyal to God. I
pray that I may keep a stronghold on the life-line of faith.
Prayer to the Mother of Goodness,
Love and Mercy Queen of Peace
O Mother mine, Mother of goodness,
love and mercy, I love You infinitely
and I offer myself to You. By means
of Your goodness, Your love and Your
Grace, save me. I desire to be Yours.
I love You infinitely, and desire You to
protect me.
From the depth of my heart I pray you
Mother of goodness, give me Your
goodness. Let me gain Heaven by means
of it. I pray You, by Your infinite love,
to give me the grace so that I may love
every man, as You have loved Jesus
Christ. I pray You to give me the grace
to be merciful towards You.
I offer myself to You completely and
desire that you follow my every step.
Because You are full of grace. And I
desire that I will never forget this. And
if by chance, I should lose grace I
pray You to restore it to me once more.
Amen.
What If It Were Today?
Jesus is coming to earth again --
What if it were today?
Coming in power and love to reign --
What if it were today?
Coming to claim His chosen Bride,
All the redeemed and purified.
Over this whole earth scattered wide --
What if it were today?
Satan's dominion will then be o'er --
O, that it were today!!!
Sorrow and sighing shall be no more --
O, that it were today!!!
Then shall the dead in Christ arise,
Caught up to meet Him in the skies.
When shall these glories meet our eye?
What if it were today?
Faithful and true would He find us here
If He should come today?
Watching in gladness and not in fear,
If He should come today?
Signs of His coming multiply,
Morning light breaks in the eastern sky;
Watch, for the time is drawing nigh --
What if it were today?
Glory, glory!!!
Joy to my heart 'twill bring;
Glory, glory!!!
When we shall crown Him King;
Glory, glory!!!
Haste to prepare the way;
Glory, glory!!!
Jesus will come someday!!!

What are you saying; are your words good or bad,
Positive or negative, happy or sad?
The words of your mouth lead to failure or success.
Do you ever wonder how you got into that mess?
You are in charge of the words that you speak.
Will you be strong, or will you be weak?
Do you speak words of sickness, or words of health?
Do you speak of poverty, or are your words of wealth?
What you say each day is what comes to pass in your life.
Are your days full of peace, or are they full of strife?
Your life will reflect the words that you say.
Speak positive, uplifting words and life will manifest that way.
Speak negative, depressing, 'Oh, poor me' kind of things...
Then the road to failure is what these words will bring.
It's your choice; it's up to you.
What are you saying; what will you do?

February 7 - Jesus Calling
Come to Me for rest and refreshment. The journey has been too much for you, and you are bone-weary. Do not be ashamed of your exhaustion. Instead, see it as an opportunity for Me to take charge of your life.
Remember that I can fit everything into a pattern for good, including the things you wish were different. Start with where you are at this point in time and space, accepting that this is where I intend you to be. You will get through today one step, one moment at a time. Your main responsibility is to remain attentive to Me, letting Me guide you through the many choices along your pathway.
This sounds like an easy assignment, but it is not. Your desire to live in My Presence goes against the grain of “the world, the flesh, and the devil.” Much of your weariness results from your constant battle against these opponents. However, you are on the path of My choosing, so do not give up! Hope in Me, for you will again praise Me for the help of My Presence.
We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose.
—Romans 8:28 amp
Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall yet praise Him, the help of my countenance and my God.
—Psalm 42:11 nasb
