Hello my friends! Today we saw another Oriel or two - still no cardinals, they are scarce. My husband got all the feeders cleaned out good with fresh feed in now - maybe we'll get more action. But the Oriels just eat grape jelly! So pretty!! Sorry I have nothing new to report about Darla because she hasn't called us yet so we know nothing. May God's will be done!
Remember that God always does what He promises. Lord, where others
bargain, You freely give, when others are too busy, You listen and when
others let me down, You never fail me. Thank You for all of my blessings.
Scripture for the day:
"Through Christ 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:
God's miracle-working power is as manifest today as it was in the past.
It still works miracles of change in lives and miracles of healing in
troubled minds. When a person trusts wholly in God and leaves to God the
choosing of the day and hour, there is God's miracle-working power becoming
manifest in that person's life. We can trust in God and have boundless
faith in
God's power to make us whole again.
Prayer for the day:
I pray that I may feel sure that there is nothing that God cannot
accomplish in changing my life. I pray that I may have faith in God's
miracle-working power.
In Christ we have . . .
A love that can never be fathomed,
A life that can never die,
A righteousness that can never be tarnished,
A peace that can never be understood,
A rest that can never be disturbed,
A joy that can never be diminished,
A hope that can never be disappointed,
A glory that can never be clouded,
A light that can never be darkened,
A purity that can never be defiled,
A beauty that can never be marred,
A wisdom that can never be baffled,
Resources that can never be exhausted.
Jesus is our all in all!
How Blessed Are We?
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness...
you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.
If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of
imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation...
you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.
If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest,
torture, or death...
you are more blessed than three billion people in the world.
If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead
and a place to sleep...
you are richer than 75% of this world.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish
someplace...
you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.
If your parents are still alive and still married...
you are very rare.
If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful...
you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.
If you can hold someone's hand, hug them or even touch them on the
shoulder...
you are blessed because you can offer God's healing touch.
If you can read this message,
you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you,
and furthermore, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the
world that cannot read at all.
TO EACH HIS OWN
-- Author Unknown
I cannot change the way I am,
I never really try,
God made me different and unique,
I never ask him why.
If I appear peculiar,
There's nothing I can do,
You must accept me as I am,
As I've accepted you.
God made a casting of each life,
Then threw the mold away,
Each child is different from the rest,
Unlike as night from day.
So often we will criticize,
The things that others do,
But, do you know, they do not think,
The same as me and you.
So God in all his wisdom,
Who knows us all by name,
He didn't want us to be bored,
That's why we're not the same
Fatima Angel's Prayer - When the three children at Fatima saw Our Lady, the Angel came first and this was the prayer:
Oh Most Holy Trinity,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
I adore Thee profoundly.
I offer Thee the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity
of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world,
in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and
indifferences by which He is offended.
By the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
and the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
I beg the conversion of poor sinners.
Mother Teresa Said...
Never let anything so fill you with pain or sorrow so as to make you forget
the joy of Christ Risen.
Meditations by Padre Pio
When passing before an image of Our Lady we should say: "I greet you, Oh
Mary. Greet Jesus for me."
