Hello my friends! It's been a good day - lots of blessings all around. My friend and cleaning lady, Shurri (pronounced shurrie with the emphasis on the e) cute name, I think, anyway she has a 21 year old daughter who really needs a lot of prayers, she's on drugs, has a 2 year old boy, her Mom has partial custody, she can't be trusted with him, and she steals, is on drugs, and just breaks her Mother's heart. I promised a lot of prayers for her, her name is Bailey. She could be bi-poler but she won't go get diagnosed so she can be on meds. It's really a sad case. I feel so sorry for Shurri. Let's pray for Shurri, her husband and older daughter who also gets hurt deeply by Bailey. I put her on the prayer line, now I'm asking for your prayers. She hasn't even worked in 10 months, and won't look for a job, lives with her parents and is mean. So God can work with this, He can change her, and help Shurri and family too. In Jesus' Name I pray for a miracle in this situation. Thank you for your prayers.
The ordinary things we do each day are often taken for granted
and make us feel unimportant. Lord, help me change my thinking
so that I can happily see that the little things I do are very important
and that I do make a very big difference.
Scripture for the day:
"You show me the path of life. In your presence there is fullness of
joy; in your right hand are pleasures forevermore." ~Psalm 16:11
Meditation for the day:
Faith is the messenger that bears our prayers to God. Prayer can be
like incense, rising ever higher and higher. The prayer of faith is
the prayer of trust that feels the presence of God which it rises to
meet. It can be sure of some response from God. We can pray a prayer
of thanks to God every day for God's grace, which has kept us on the
right way and allowed us to start living the good life. So we can
pray to God with faith and trust and gratitude.
Prayer for the day:
I pray that I may feel sure of God's response to my prayers. I pray
that I may be content with whatever form that response takes.
When I say good morning I mean to say:
G-od
O-ffers us His
O-utstanding
D-evotion to
M-ake us
O-bedient &
R-eady for a
N-ew day with Him.
I-nspire others please, and
N-ever forget
G-od loves you!
My Hand In God´s
Each morning when I wake I say,
"I place my hand in God's today;"
I know He'll walk close by my side
My every wandering step to guide.
He leads me with the tenderest care
When paths are dark and I despair---
No need for me to understand
If I but hold fast to His hand.
My hand in His! No surer way
to walk in safety through each day.
By His great bounty I am fed;
Warmed by His love, and comforted.
When at day's end I seek my rest
And realize how much I'm blessed,
My thanks pour out to Him; and then
I place my hand in God's again.

Hello! Is there too much noise in your life?
I AM your Lord God speaking!
Would you like me to speak louder?
Is it you who can't hear me already,
in the mere creation that was made by my hands;
Like the sun, which I shine on your face everyday,
or the wind, that blows through your window,
which you don't notice because your always in a hurry?
Can you not hear me in the Mass,
where I offer up myself to you through the Eucharist,
in a homily where my child speaks my words,
in the Bible - where I teach you how to live,
in prayer - where you listen and hear me speak,
or in any act of Love you experience
through another one of my children during a normal day?
I AM with you always, right here,
but unless you have time
and turn down the volume of the stereo of life,
how do you expect to hear me?
MAY YOU ALWAYS FEEL LOVED

May you find serenity and tranquility in a world you may not always
understand.
May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give
you the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with
optimism and courage.
Always know that there are those whose love and understanding will
always be there, even when you feel most alone.
May you discover enough goodness in others to believe in a world of
peace.
May a kind word, a reassuring touch, a warm smile be yours every day
of your life, and may you give these gifts as well as receive them.
Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending.
Teach love to those who know hate, and let that love embrace you as
you go into the world.
May the teaching of those you admire become part of you, so that you
may call upon them.
Remember, those whose lives you have touched and who have touched
yours are always a part of you, even if the encounters were less than
you would have wished.
May you not become too concerned with material matters, but instead
place immeasurable value on the goodness in your heart.
Find time in each day to see the beauty and love in the world around
you.
Realize that each person has limitless abilities, but each of us is
different in our own way.
What you may feel you lack in one regard may be more than compensated
for in another.
What you feel you lack in the present may become one of your strengths
in the future.
May you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility.
Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience.
May you find enough inner strength to determine your own worth by
yourself, and not be dependent on another's judgments of your
accomplishments.
May you always feel loved.

Trust is a golden pathway to heaven. When you walk on this path, you live above your circumstances. My glorious Light shines more brightly on those who follow this path of Life. Dare to walk on the high road with Me, for it is the most direct route to heaven. The low road is circuitous: twisting and turning in agonizing knots. There the air hangs heavy, and dark, ominous clouds predominate. Relying on your own understanding will weigh you down. Trust in Me absolutely, and I will make your path straight. “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you.”
—John 14:1–2
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
—Proverbs 3:5–6 - From Jesus Calling
