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.

Pink Saturday!



Thanks to Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for hosting another fun PINK SATURDAY. So go and visit her blog at http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/ and all the other participants to see what's new in their wonderful PINK world.

Today I’m sharing these two oil paintings that my mother painted.
I’m very lucky to have a mother with many talents, and one of them is that she is a wonderful artist.
I also hold dear my mother’s love and wisdom. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to treasure her positive attitude, her willingness to give to others, and her ability to get things done. But her best advice has to be ;
“It’s never a bad thing to have another glass of wine.”
So hear is toast to all of you.
May your mornings bring joy and your evenings bring peace
May your troubles grow less as your blessings increase!

Have A Happy Pink Saturday!
