Week Ending on Friday, March 19, 2021
{quotes}
So many people are shut up tight inside themselves like boxes, yet they would open up, unfolding quite wonderfully, if only you were interested in them.
Sylvia Plath
Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
James Baldwin
Fortune favors the bold.
Virgil
Good humor and laughter are far too wonderful not to come straight from the heart of God.
Beth Moore
Not all storms come to disrupt your life, some come to clear your path.
Paulo Coelho
{blessings}
Can’t Buy It
Money can’t buy time, love, or faith. But God blesses you with all three for free. Be grateful.
Peace with Pause
Even when you are tempted to be crabby and cross, you can stop and invite the poise and serenity of God’s grace to overcome you. May you be blessed with peace of mind, and peace of mouth.
May the Road Rise Up + Irish Blessing Video Song
May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, the rains fall soft upon your fields, and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.
Less Talk, More Action
A little less talk and a lot more action; that’s something to consider. May you be blessed to pursue the path of good deeds quietly, consistently, and without hesitation.
Found by Truth
Lying gets you lost. Truth gets you found. May God bless you with an honest heart and a voice that silences all falsehoods.
{prayers}
May Today there be Peace
May today there be peace within. May you trust your highest power that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance. It is there for each and every one of us.
Teresa of Avila
My Sister
My sister is a gift from God. She answers my call when faith fails and doubt prevails. She’s there to lift me when I am shaken up and beaten down. My sister reminds me to be grateful when gratitude goes missing. God, protect and empower her, for she is Your most deserving soul.
Accept the Inevitable
Oh Lord, teach me to surrender. To give up and give way when I am in the wrong. Remind me there are times to fight, and times to make peace. Show me how to accept the inevitable with an open heart and a strong resolve.
Rising to the Call
My thinking is sinking. I am rising to the call of prayer. Quiet sets in. God takes over. I’m covered in love, peace, and satisfaction.
Provider of Possible
Today, dear God, I choose to live with gratitude for the love that fills my heart, the peace that rests within my soul, and the voice of hope that says all things are possible. Praise to You, provider of possible.
