Hello my friends! Snowing here again today, not that heavy, but it's snowing. Tomorrow should start getting colder again, but we're going to a parish tomorrow to sell CD's, it'll be a good experience at this Parish, they are expecting a large number - Mass is at 4, followed by Adoration, and Singing by wonderful singers that are brought in for Praise and Worship, and we'll get in all this while having our booth, or place to sell the CD's. We're selling them for this parish. Looking forward to this, also Lori is coming along to help. We should get home about 8:30 or so tomorrow night. Felicia, I hope you copied down my email address now, it's on the last thread, and hope to hear from you soon so I can put you on the Glory of God List. So happy to see you all posting on the last thread!! You people are what makes this thread, not me. My blessings today is seeing your posts!!
Make it your goal to be someone that you would like to spend the rest
of your life with. Lord, help me approach my day interested in everything
that happens so that my life will truly be an adventure.

"If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have
love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal." ~1 Corinthians 13:1
M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y
"If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have
love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal." Love means to care
enough about other people to really want to do something for them. A
smile, a word of encouragement, a word of love, goes winged on its
way, simple though it may seem, while the mighty words of an orator
can fall on deaf ears. We can use up the odd moments of our day in
trying to do some little thing to cheer up another person. Boredom
can come from thinking too much about ourselves.
P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y
I pray that my day may be brightened by some little act of charity. I
pray that I may try today to overcome the self-centeredness that can
bore me.
SIDE BY SIDE
They lie on the table side by side,
The Holy Bible and the TV guide.
One is well worn and cherished with pride,
Not the Bible . . . but the TV guide.
One is used daily to help folks decide,
No, not the Bible . . . but the TV guide.
As the pages are turned, what shall they see,
Oh, what does it matter, turn on the TV.
Then confusion reigns, they can't all agree,
On what they should watch on the old TV.
So they open the book in which they confide,
No, not the Bible . . . but the TV guide.
The Word of God is seldom read,
Maybe a verse as they fall into bed.
Exhausted and sleepy and tired as can be,
Not from reading the Bible . . . from watching TV.
So then back to the table side by side,
Lie the Holy Bible and the TV guide.
No time for prayer, no time for the Word,
The plan of Salvation is seldom heard.
But forgiveness of sin, so full and free,
Is found in the Bible . . . not on TV.

WHY GOD GAVE US FRIENDS
Author Unknown
GOD knew that everyone needs
companionship and cheer,
He knew that people need someone
whose thoughts are always near.
He knew they need someone kind
to lend a helping hand.
Someone to gladly take the time
to care and understand.
GOD knew that we all need someone
to share each happy day,
to be a source of courage
when troubles come our way.
Someone to be true to us,
whether near or far apart.
Someone whose love we'll always
hold and treasure in our hearts.
That's Why GOD Gave Us Friends
TIME FLIES
By Tom Norvell
I remember this joke as a child. Question: "You know how to make time fly?"
Answer: "Throw a clock out the window." (I did not say it was funny joke.)
Now far removed from those childhood days, I know of another way to make
time fly: Live longer.
I heard it described once as a matter of proportions. One year to a
ten-year-old is one tenth of his life. One year to a fifty-year-old is one
fiftieth. For the ten-year-old a year seems like an eternity. For the
fifty-year-old it's like only a moment. For the child looking ahead a year
is difficult to imagine and something to rush. For the parent of that child,
it is almost something to avoid and slow down. Time flies.
Time has flown.
It seems like just yesterday when he started school. Off he went in new
clothes with his book bag in hand and with all the excitement of a child on
a new adventure. Today his new clothes consist of a cap and a gown. He
carries his diploma, his cell phone, and perhaps your credit card.
It seems like only yesterday when she was content to play in the sand on the
beach, going for walks in the neighborhood, and learning to ride her bike.
Now she's planning a wedding and dreaming of a real castle in her own
neighborhood.
It seems like yesterday when you held her for the first time. You could not
believe you were a parent. Now you are standing in the nursery holding her
child. You cannot believe you are a grandparent.
It was not long ago, so it seems, when your Dad would leave for work early
in the morning and come in late in the day. There was just enough daylight
to play ball with you and do a few chores before dinner. Now he is gone most
of the time. He left several years ago and only occasionally comes back to
where you are. You try to get him to remember, but he cannot. He stares out
the window and you wonder where the time has gone.
Wasn't it only yesterday when the two of you stood before an audience in
your finest clothing, expressing your love and devotion for a lifetime? Now
you are celebrating another anniversary and there is talk of a silver or
gold celebration.
Try as we may, we cannot stop it and we cannot slow it down.
It does not seem so long ago that a trip to grandmother's house was a long
trip filled with anticipation of meals and laughter and peaceful days. Now
you realize her house was only a few miles away and a stranger lives there.
Only the memories of days gone by remain.
Time flies. Try as we may, we cannot stop it and we cannot slow it down.
Before long, today will only be a distant memory of what once was. That is
the way of life.
Scripture reminds us that time flies: "Why, you do not even know what will
happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little
while and then vanishes." (James 4:14)
Time flies.
Time is flying.
Time has flown.
We cannot change what has happened yesterday and we have very little control
over what comes tomorrow. What we have is today. Today is a gift from God to
be shared with all we love. Let's enjoy it. Let's share it. Let's spend
today making a memory that we will remember years from now when we are
sitting all alone reflecting on how time has flown.
Words of Mother Teresa
A sacrifice to be real must cost, must hurt, must empty ourselves. The fruit
of silence is prayer, the fruit of prayer is faith, the fruit of faith is
love, the fruit of love is service, the fruit of service is peace.
