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




Today is Hopeful Friday hosted by http://houseinroses.blogspot.com/ please go and visit Cielo and all the participants. Their beautiful post will uplift and inspire you.


In our story of Creation, we talk about each one of us having our own path to travel, and our own gift to give and to share. You see, what we say is that God gave us all special gifts. Each one of us is special, and each one of us is a special gift to each other because we've got something to share.
My God, today, let me use the gifts You have given me. Let me use them wisely.

Such a great prayer of hope for today. I do implore the Lord to help me (I've been a bit grouchy lately over "sacrifices" I don't feel like making). I want to leave only those footprints of love and echoes of beauty.

Father, renew me, transform me, lead me . . .

Have a blessed day, my sweet friend.
