There is always a reason why people act as they do. Lord, help me to be

more patient and understanding.

Scripture for the day:

"Through him you have come to trust in God, who raised him from the dead and

gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are set on God." ~1 Peter 1:21

Meditation for the day:

I can rely on God. I can trust God to the limit. I can depend on God's

power in all human relationships. I can wait and trust and hope, until God

shows me the way. I can wait for guidance in each important decision. I

can meet the test of waiting until a thing seems right before I do it. Every

work for God can meet this test of time. The guidance will come, if I wait

for it.

Prayer for the day:

I pray that I may meet the test of waiting for God's guidance. I pray that

I will not go off on my own.

Hello my friends! Today I'm listening a lot to Relevant Radio about the Cardinals choosing the new Pope. On Facebook I saw the first black smoke! Relevant Radio and Facebook are blessings to me - Relevant Radio keeps me spirit-filled and I love it! Facebook is a blessing, too, for I see my girls on there and what they are up to, plus their pictures. That means a lot to me. My third blessing - my dear husband who works so hard - he is such a blessing to me. We'll be married 49 years in August. By the next time I post I'm hoping we'll have the new Pope!! An exciting time for the Church. Praying for all of you - thanks for your prayers for us.

Words of Mother Teresa:

+++

Do not be afraid of loving to the point of sacrifice, until it hurts. Jesus'

love for us led him to his death.

+++

God pays attention to our love.

Not one of us is indispensable. God has the means to do all things and to do

away with the work of the most capable human being.

We can work until we drop. We can work excessively. If what we do is not

connected to love, however, our work is useless in God's eyes.

+++

All sicknesses have cures. The only one that cannot be cured is the sickness

of feeling unloved.

I invite all those who appreciate our work to look around them and be

willing to love those who have no love and to offer them their services.

Are we not, by definition, messengers of love?

Love is the product of every season.

+++

We have been created to love and be loved.

A young man was dying, but for three or four days fought to prolong his

life. The Sister there asked him, "Why do you continue this fight?"

"I cannot die without asking forgiveness from my father," he answered.

When his father arrived, the youth embraced him and asked forgiveness.

Two hours later, the young man passed away peacefully.

+++

What we say does nor matter, only what God says to souls through us.

+++

Good works are links that form a chain of love.

THE FAMILY BIBLE

Old brother Higgins built a shelf

for the family bible to rest itself

lest a sticky finger or grimy thumb

might injure the delicate pages some.

He cautioned his children to touch it not

and it rested there with never a blot

though the Higgins tribe were

a troublesome lot.

His neighbor, Miggins, built a shelf,

"Come children," he said, "and help yourself."

His book is old and ragged and worn,

with some of the choicest pages torn,

where children have fingered

and thumbed and read.

But of the Miggins tribe I've heard it said,

each carries a bible in their head.

I HAVE MOVED

Author Unknown

Can't remember if I told you all, but:

I have moved out from 1 Beggars Alley, located at 2 Poverty Lane at

the corner of Bleak and Buster Circle. As of today, I have a brand new

home.

My new address is: Living Well on 3 Abundance Drive, located at the

corner of Blessings Street and Prosperity Peak. No longer will I

allow my self to travel on Begging Peter to pay off Paul route,

located at a dead end intersection called I Don't Have, it connects

with Borrowers Junction.

I no longer hang out at Failure's Place, near Excuses Avenue, next to

Procrastination Point. I've moved on to an Upscale community called

Higher Heights with unlimited potential and opportunities for me to

succeed.

Look at me. Each day that I'm awake, I am thankful to be a product of

my new environment. All my clothes are tailor made. I'm dressed in

life's finest. Let me introduce you to all of them: Divine Favour,

Conceive, Believe, Act on Faith, Be Persistent, and Always be Prepared

to Achieve.

Life is good because God is good! Care to change your address? There

are many vacancies!

GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS

I AM WELL BLESSED AND SO ARE YOU!!!!!

'DON'T TELL GOD HOW BIG YOUR STORM IS, TELL YOUR STORM HOW BIG OUR GOD

IS'

Guardian Angel Prayer For Friends

Guardian Angel,

watch over those whose names you can read in my heart.

Guard over them with every care

and make their way easy and their labors fruitful.

Dry their tears if they weep;

sanctify their joys;

raise their courage if they weaken;

restore their hope if they lose heart,

their health if they be ill,

truth if they err,

repentance if they fail...

Amen.

Prayer for the Help of the Holy Spirit

by Saint Anthony of Padua

O God, send forth your Holy Spirit

into my heart that I may perceive,

into my mind that I may remember,

and into my soul that I may meditate.

Inspire me to speak with piety, holiness, tenderness and mercy.

Teach, guide and direct my thoughts and senses from beginning to end.

May your grace ever help and correct me,

and may I be strengthened now with wisdom from on high,

for the sake of your infinite mercy.

Amen.
