Hello my friends! Beautiful day here today after the rain! Today I sliced all the bread I made yesterday with the electric knife and froze them. Got laundry done and Georgia came to cut our hair. Linus has his hair cut by her too now. She comes late enough for him to get home from work. Then Linda comes up to visit. Georgia is a life long friend of Linda's. It was because of Linda that I have Georgia for my stylist and she comes to our place. When she comes she writes on the calendar when she comes again, I like that. What are your blessings? I'm sure you have many to share, right?
Give control of your life to God and humbly live in His presence.
Lord, I humbly desire that Your will be my will and that we always
walk together.

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."
~Psalm 46:10
M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y
There is no limit to what we can accomplish in helping others. We can
keep that thought always. We need never relinquish any work or give up
the thought of any accomplishment because it seems beyond our power.
God will help us in all good work. We only give it up if we feel that
it's not God's will for us. In helping others, we can think of the tiny
seed under the dark, hard ground. There is no certainty that, when it
has forced its way up to the surface, sunlight and warmth will greet it.
Often a task seems beyond our power, but there is no limit to what we
can accomplish with God's help.
P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y
I pray that I may never become discouraged in helping others. I pray
that I may always rely on the power of God to help me.

"When you say your Rosary, the angels rejoice, the Blessed Trinity delights
in it, my Son find joy in it too, and I myself am happier than you can
possibly guess. After the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, there is nothing in
the Church that I love as much as the Rosary." Our Lady to Bl. Alan de la
Roche

said anything that was more pleasing to me, nor will anyone ever be able to

A prayer to the Guardian Angels
Holy Angel of my husband, I commend him this day to your powerful care. Be with him in his daily work, shield him from every misfortune, and guard him against all temptation from without and within. And you Angels of my children look after them wherever they go and I cannot be with them. Let them return home unharmed in body and soul.
Holy Guardian Angels of my children, you know that I can no longer protect and oversee and control my children as before, when they were little. They are entrusted to you. Therefore I ask you with all my motherly (fatherly) love to protect them this day in body and soul, wherever they go, that they may remain safe from all harm. Stir their conscience when they waver, and lend them your strength. You behold at all times the face of the Heavenly Father; beseech Him to turn all things to good, that one day in union with you we may praise and bless Him forever.
Holy Guardian Angels of my children, each of you knows his ward better and deeper than I can. Show me what to do to bring up my children rightly. Help me to open their hearts to everything good and holy. Teach them to love Christ as He deserves to be loved.

May 31
The Peace that I give you transcends your intellect. When most of your mental energy goes into efforts to figure things out, you are unable to receive this glorious gift. I look into your mind and see thoughts spinning round and round: going nowhere, accomplishing nothing. All the while, My Peace hovers over you, searching for a place to land.
Be still in My Presence, inviting Me to control your thoughts. Let My Light soak into your mind and heart, until you are aglow with My very Being. This is the most effective way to receive My Peace.
Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.
—2 Thessalonians 3:16
“Submit to God and be at peace with him; in this way prosperity will come to you.”
—Job 22:21
