COURAGE

Courage is standing up for what one believes in. It means to accept what is ahead, rather than giving in, fearing what is to come. Accepting the given, realizing God is there no matter what, is heard through the power of prayer. Courage prevails. Feeling the Spirit of God, to the depth of the soul, gathers will beyond the unbelievable. Have faith.

THE CHAIN

A linked chain may feel one cannot escape. Links can mean more than blocking an entry. They can mean a growing friendship, joined together in prayer, with God and His Son, and the Holy Spirit. Imagining elbows connected, in partnership, will unite as one, leading toward a circle of never ending love.

I CAN'T

Some days, “I can’t” comes out from the soul more than “I can.” Saying these negative words is a comfortable way to hide from what is ahead. Pausing in prayer, an image comes to mind, on what will be missing in life if thoughts remain the same. Looking back on the day, there are pleasant and exciting reflections, because of the change of mind.

SWEEP

Sleeping all day sweeps troubles away. However, it may also dissolve seeing sunrise and sunset, some of God’s greatest pieces of art. Waking up, with a good morning to our Lord, is great to start the day How empty life would be, upon awakening, not to have praising for God! Most important, it is to hear God’s Word, as we begin a new day!

WISE

As one of God’s children ages, wisdom grows. It is something good to keep in mind, bearing patience for those too young to have the experience of wisdom, and having respect for the elderly, listening to them, learning from their wise ways.

TAKING A BREAK

A common saying is, “We are taking a break right now from going to Church.” Taking a break is not what God can do. Stepping away for even a millisecond could cause disaster beyond words. Thank you, dear Lord, for always being there for us, no matter the time of night or day. How blessed we are!

PASSIONS AND DREAMS

How do we know if we are fulfilling what God wants each of us to do in life? Making time in the day provides time for contemplation and prayer. It is blissful, to hear His voice during these minutes in the day. A yearning could actually be a true calling in life. Listening to God’s voice empowers us to take a path only dreams have traversed. Passions have become a reality.
