Hello my friends! Sad to see Angie leave this morning - we enjoyed having her alot and she knows it. She's got a nephew here in town so she met with him and his family today and tonight and tomorrow she goes back home. Also she's planning on seeing her sister in town who has Alz really bad. It's sad - she'll go there with her BIL. It's really hard on him as she's put away in a place for Alz patients.

We have every reason to be at peace because God will either protect us from

suffering or give us immense strength to see us through it. Lord, I set

aside my anxieties because You care for me every day in every way.

Scripture for the day:

Jesus said to them, "Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and

rest a while." ~Mark 6:31

Meditation for the day:

God can work through us better when we are not hurrying. We can go very

slowly, very quietly, from one duty to the next, taking time to rest and

pray between. We need not be too busy. We can take everything in order. We

can venture often into the rest of God and we can find peace. All work that

results from resting with God is good work. We can claim the power to work

miracles in human lives. We can do many things with God's help. We can do

good things through God who rests us and gives us strength. We can partake

regularly of rest and prayer.

Prayer for the day:

I pray that I may not be in too much of a hurry. I pray that I may take

time out often to rest with God.

PHYSICAL HEALING PRAYER

" Jesus, you are the wounded healer, heal our friends through your wounds. You are the God, the Ultimate, who alone can heal them. You are our Divine medicine. O! Lord! Just say one word, and they shall be healed. Jesus, forgive all our sins and iniquities through your bloodshed. Have mercy on all our ancestors. O! Jesus! Send your Holy Spirit upon us all and liberate us from all bondage. Jesus, our only Savior, deliver us from all our sins and sickness. Mother Mary, mother of good health, we cry out to you for your prayers for the mercy of your Son to heal these people right now! Thank you Mother Mary, Thank you Jesus, Thank you Abba Father, and Thank you Holy Spirit. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!"

We come to you, St. Joseph, for employment for the right jobs for Dennis and Linus.

May these interviews be successful and grant them their hearts desires, all according to God's Holy Will.

Make Your Day Bright

By Thinking Right

Don't start your day by supposing

that trouble is just ahead,

It's better to stop supposing

and start with a prayer instead,

And make it a prayer of thanksgiving

for the wonderful things God has wrought,

Like the beautiful sunrise and sunset--

God's gifts that are free and not bought...

For supposing the worst things will happen

only helps to make them come true

And you darken the bright, happy moments

that the dear Lord has given to you...

So if you desire to be happy

and get rid of the misery of dread,

Just give up supposing the worst things

and look for the best things instead.

--Helen Steiner Rice

Mother Teresa Said...

There is great humility in God. He can stoop down to people like us and become dependent on us for His work to live, to grow, to bear fruit. And He could easily have done it without us. Yet He stooped down and called us to do it.

- Mail Waiting -

Author Unknown

Perhaps two of the most pleasant words in Computer Lingo are the words: "Mail Waiting." Come on, admit it. When you log on to your system at work or your internet connection at home, the first thing you look for is whether or not you have mail, isn't it? And aren't you just a little bit disappointed when you log on and there is no mail in your In-Basket?

Congratulations, you're normal. Each of us enjoys receiving notes across the net. Receiving a note shows that someone else is thinking about you; or they need and value your input on an issue; or they want to update you on what is happening with them; or they just want to say 'Hi.'

When "Mail is Waiting," you know the sender desires to communicate specifically with you.

"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." Psalms 119:105

Over the years, God has communicated in many different ways to many different people. On one occasion, God communicated in a "still small voice." On another, He spoke to Moses from a "burning bush." Then there was a "voice from heaven" at Jesus' Baptism, and even an incident when Balaam's donkey spoke to him. The list goes on and on - God using His infinitely creative energy to communicate with His beloved creation.

But of all the ways that He has communicated with us, it is interesting that one of the most effective, was also one of the simplest: He sent us a letter. A note, if you will. Written by God, through men and sent across centuries under the watchful eye of the Holy Spirit. (Note: this watchful eye far exceeds any double-bit error protection system that we might ever dream up!)

A note from God. A note that says He is thinking about us: always. A note that says he desires our input back to Him: our worship, our praise, our prayers. A note to update us on issues: issues that never change, like love and life and trusting in Him. A note to just

say "Hello." Because, sometimes we forget that He is there, and we wander off to struggle with life on our own.

Have you ever logged on to your system, saw the "Mail Waiting" indicator turned on, then just logged back off without bothering to

check the mail:

"It's probably not important, I'll check it later, when I have more time."

"It's probably not meant for me. It was sent to the wrong ID and has no meaning or relevance to me."

"I already have too much going on, the last thing I need is another note making demands on my time."

God used thousands of people over thousands of years to send you a message like none you have ever read before, or will ever read after. It is important. It is relevant. It is demanding.

There is an old Book from a heavenly Father about the things you are dealing with in your life even today. It's called the Bible. It has a "Mail Waiting" light on it.
