Hello my friends!
Just finished playing cards with another couple - here - from the card club - had them over for supper, and ending with ice cream before they went home. It was a fun evening. Now we are ready for the play-offs the first Monday in May. Please do keep praying for Linus, his depression is hard to deal with, and his doctor's appointment is in two weeks. He had a very busy day at work today and that was good. Thanks for the prayers and remember that you all are in my prayers daily.
God gives abundantly to those who pass His gifts on to others. Lord, let
Your blessings flow in to me and then out from me. I will neither be selfish
nor let my gifts stagnate.

"For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the
things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set
their minds on the things of the Spirit." ~Romans 8:5

God can draw us all closer to God in the bonds of the spirit. God
would have all people drawn closer to each other in the bonds of the
spirit. God, the great spirit of the universe, of which each of our
spirits is a part, wants unity with God and all God's children.
"Unity of the spirit in the bonds of peace." Each experience of our
life, of joy, of sorrow, of danger, of safety, of difficulty, of
success, of hardship, of ease, each can be accepted as part of our
common lot, n the bonds of the spirit.
P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y
I pray that I may welcome the bonds of true fellowship. I pray that I
may be brought closer to unity with God and other people.

in my very room.

Dear Person of God
Be still for a while and praise God for His favor, His grace and His
Awesomeness.
God is able to do the impossible and is always near.
He loves us unconditionally.
Salutation of the Wound in the Shoulder of Jesus
O Loving Jesus, meek Lamb of God, I miserable sinner salute and worship the
most Sacred Wound of Thy Shoulder on which Thou didst bear Thy heavy Cross
which so tore Thy flesh and laid bare Thy Bones as I inflict on The anguish
greater than any other wound of Thy Most Blessed Body. I adore Thee, O Jesus
most sorrowful; I praise and glorify Thee, and give The thanks for this most
sacred and painful Wound, beseeching Thee by that exceeding pain, and by the
crushing burden of Thy heavy Cross to be merciful to me, a sinner, to
forgive me all my mortal and venial sins, and to lead me on towards Heaven
along the Way of Thy Cross. Amen.
Lenten Prayer
Father, you have taught us to overcome our sins by prayer, fasting and works
of mercy. When we are discouraged by our weakness, give us confidence in
your love. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives
and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Mother Teresa Said...
Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that
person, a beautiful thing.
Meditations by Padre Pio
Don’t let temptations frighten you. They are the trials of those souls whom
God wants to put to the test when He sees them strong enough to sustain the
battle, weaving with their own hands the crown of glory. Up to now your life
has been that of an infant, now the Lord wants to treat you as an adult. And
as the trials of adult life are much greater that those of an infant, this
is why you find yourself rather disorganized in the beginning. But the soul
will acquire its calm, and the calm will not delay in coming. Be patient a
while longer and everything will work out well (Letters III, p 630).
