Sometimes the biggest blessing of the day is that which didn't happen.
Lord, thank You for my ordinary day, a day in which my loved ones
have remained safe and healthy.
Scripture for the day:
"For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast
love shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not be
removed, says the LORD, who has compassion on you." ~Isaiah 54:10
Meditation for the day:
We can make use of our mistakes, failures, losses and sufferings. It is not
what happens to us so much as what use we make of it. We can take our
sufferings, difficulties and hardships and make use of them to help some
unfortunate soul who is faced with the same troubles. Then something good
can come out of our suffering and the world can be a better place because of
it. The good we do each day can live on, after the trouble and distress
have gone, after the difficulty and pain have passed away.
Prayer for the day:
I pray that I may make good use of my mistakes and failures. I pray that
some good may result from my painful experiences.
Hello my friends! Well we got two dogs now - Koda is good and they get
along fine. It was quite entertaining watching them play together before!
Everything seems to be great with them. We'll see how the night goes! Had
Lori over for supper tonight - Linus made some meat on the grill and I made
a salad, left over potatoes, and green beans. This afternoon had a nice
visit with the ones who brought Koda. He will be picked up on Monday.
Today didn't do much - only the usual tidying, keeping the house clean and
in order. My blessings are two dogs that get along well - my daughter
coming for supper - and many more numerous ones - thank you, Jesus!
Imitate Jesus
To be able to imitate Jesus, it is necessary to reflect
and meditate constantly on his life.

Blessed Mother Teresa on Peace
"If we have no peace,
it is because we have
forgotten that we
belong to each other"
"Peace begins with a smile"
Prayer for Peace, Prosperity and the Power of Love
Heavenly Father, bless our world in whatever it is that You know it may need
this day!
May our world and children be full of your peace, prosperity and the power
of love
as we all seek to have a closer relationship with You.
Amen.
Meet God in the Morning
I met God in the morning
when my day was at its best
His Presence was like sunshine
like a glory in my breast.
All day long He sailed beside me,
all day long He stayed with me,
And we sailed thru gentle waters
over a very troubled sea.
Other ships were torn and battered,
Other ships where so distressed
But the winds that seemed to guide them
Brought to me a peace and rest.
When I think of other mornings
with a keen remorse of mind
when I too had loosed the moorings
with His Presence left behind.
Now I think I know the secret
learnt thru many a troubled way.
You must meet God in the morning
if you want Him thru the day...
