Hello my friends! Thanks to all of you who very faithfully are praying for us to sell our house! I so appreciate it! Today we got an offer and closing will be October 2nd. Praise Be Jesus!!! And Thanks to St. Joseph for helping us get the sale. I thought after we moved, and the house was empty it would sell better - and it did this morning!!! That is a great big blessing! We won't have to make anymore double payments then! This place is starting to look like home. Unpacking is done, but pictures are not up yet, still so much to do! Thanks Love Roses for your sharing that this is a positive thread, that's for sure!! And a prayerful one, too, and supportive. Thanks Jubilant for your post too!! Thanks for praying for the sale of our house - prayers are answered for that!!! Now I'm praying to get over a bladder infection - that I"m sure comes with all this stress. It'll go, it has to go away!
There is always a reason why people act as they do. Lord, help me to be
more patient and understanding.

"Through him you have come to trust in God, who raised him from the dead and
gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are set on God." ~1 Peter 1:21

I can rely on God. I can trust God to the limit. I can depend on God's
power in all human relationships. I can wait and trust and hope, until God
shows me the way. I can wait for guidance in each important decision. I
can meet the test of waiting until a thing seems right before I do it. Every
work for God can meet this test of time. The guidance will come, if I wait
for it.

I pray that I may meet the test of waiting for God's guidance. I pray that
I will not go off on my own.
Mother Teresa Said...
Before we share the gospel with the poor, this is what we must do: we must first satisfy the needs of the body, so we can then bring them Christ.
We stand before the world as ambassadors of peace by preaching the message of love in action that crosses all barriers of nationality, creed, or country.
You Are...
You are strong...when you take your grief and teach it to smile.
You are brave...when you overcome your fear and help others to do the same.
You are happy...when you see a flower and are thankful for the blessing.
You are loving...when your own pain does not blind you to the pain of others.
You are wise...when you know the limits of your wisdom.
You are true...when you admit there are times you fool yourself.
You are alive...when tomorrow's hope means more to you than yesterday's mistake.
You are growing...when you know what you are but not what you will become.
You are free...when you are in control of yourself and do not wish to control others.
You are honorable...when you find your honor is to honor others.
You are generous...when you can take as sweetly as you can give.
You are humble...when you do not know how humble you are.
You are thoughtful...when you see me just as I am and treat me just as you are.
You are merciful...when you forgive in others the faults you condemn in yourself.
You are beautiful...when you don't need a mirror to tell you.
You are rich...when you never need more than what you have.
You are you...when you are at peace with who you are not.
September 8 - Jesus Calling
Accept each day exactly as it comes to you. By that, I mean not only the circumstances of your day but also the condition of your body. Your assignment is to trust Me absolutely...
On some days, your circumstances and your physical condition feel out of balance: The demands on you seem far greater than your strength. Days like that present a choice between two alternatives—giving up or relying on Me. Even if you wrongly choose the first alternative, I will not reject you. You can turn to Me at any point, and I will help you crawl out of the mire of discouragement. I will infuse My strength into you moment by moment, giving you all that you need for this day. Trust Me, by relying on My empowering Presence.
Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior.
—Psalm 42:5
For to be sure, he was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by God’s power. Likewise, we are weak in him, yet by God’s power we will live with him to serve you.
—2 Corinthians 13:4
“I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint.”
—Jeremiah 31:25
