TRUST GOD ONE DAY AT A TIME! &
“PRAY WITHOUT CEASING! ”

Never let anything so fill you with sorrow as to make you forget the joy of the Christ risen...Mother Teresa

BELIEVE
To believe is to know that every day is a new beginning.It is to trust that miracles happen, and dreams really do come true.To believe is to see angels dancing among the clouds,To know the wonder of a stardust sky and the wisdom of the man in the moon.To believe is to know the value of a nurturing heart,The innocence of a child’s eyes and the beauty of an aging hand,for it is through their teachings we learn to love.To believe is to find the strength and courage that lies within us.When it is time to pick up the pieces and begin again.To believe is to know we are not alone,That life is a gift and this is our time to cherish it.To believe is to know that wonderful surprises are just waiting to happen,And all our hopes and dreams are within reach.If only we believe.

St. Ignatius of Loyola

Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will, All I have and call my own.

You have given all to me. To you, Lord, I return it.

Everything is yours; do with it what you will. Give me only your love and your grace, that is enough for me.

"Hopeful Friday"Prayer For Those Who Are In The Way Of Hurricane Ike

Cielo from The House In The Roses ~~ http://houseinroses.blogspot.com/ is hosting a "Hopeful Friday", to celebrate God's love and to make a chain of positive thoughts and inspirational messages. So join Cielo every Friday.
I decided to keep my post from Tuesday, because I'm still lifting my prayers to God to keep all safe from Ike.
I am adding special prayers to everyone that has had to deal with this major storm/hurricane and for what is in store .

O Heavenly Father, all the elements of nature obey Your commands, including hurricanes. Calm the storms that threaten us and turn our fear of Your power into praise of Your goodness.
Grant this through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.
Amen.






“May God give you...For every storm a rainbow, for every tear a smile, for every care a promise and a blessing in each trial. For every problem life sends, a faithful friend to share, for every sigh a sweet song and an answer for each prayer.”
Irish Blessings

Dear sweet Virginia, your post today touched my heart in so many silent ways... I'm lifting my voice with you to our Heaving Father in behalf of the people and countries affected by the fury of nature.... I wish for them comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, and rainbows to follow the clouds...

And by the way, I loved the poem you left on my blog.... it fill my cup with joy... THANK YOU.

Hugs

They all have my prayers...we lived in Corpus Christi years ago and survived a fierce hurricane. I pray that those in Ike's path will be safe.
