Week End October 27, 2017
{quotes}
Do your best and then sleep in peace.
Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.
I wish I could tell you it gets better, but it doesn’t get better, you get better.
Thank God for all the good things in your life that haven’t happened yet.
It’s my business to do God’s business and it’s God’s business to take care of my business.
Maybe being powerful means to be fragile.
{blessings}
True to Yourself
Don’t even try. The epic fail is when you wander off your center to please those on the right and those on the left. It never works. May you be blessed to stay true to yourself and true to God, who loves you just the way you are.
Your Many Talents
The Lord God gave you many talents. Use them well. May you be blessed to use your gifts for the improvement of others, not just for self-improvement. Remember, a gift is always better when shared.
Flow
To some, surrender implies defeat, giving up. However, true surrender does not mean to passively put up with whatever situation you find yourself in and to do nothing about it. Instead it’s the simple but profound act of yielding to, rather than opposing, the flow of life. May you be blessed to go with the flow as God gently guides you through life’s beautiful, but often rough waters.
In Memory of
“If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever.” May God bless you with good memories of loved ones now gone. Memories that bring joy, comfort, and peace. Peace to you as they rest in peace with God.
Never Too Old
You’re never too old to start something new. In fact, experience is what makes it work this time around. May God bless you with new vision and new purpose. You’re old enough to know better, young enough not to care, and smart enough to do it right.
{prayers}
Tested
Lord, If this is a test lead me to the answer. My faith is strong, but my will is not. Be my legs when I can not walk. Be my eyes when I can not see. Help me know what I must do. Praise to You my teacher.
This Precious Cycle
In the morning I wake and thank God for the gift of seeing a new day begin and the energy I need to make it through. When night time comes I thank God for the gift of living a day well-spent and for the tranquility that comes quietly, peaceably, with a darkened sky. Morning to night, and back again I am grateful for this precious cycle.
Tremendous Love
Oh Lord, My God, You called me from the sleep of nothingness merely because in Your tremendous love you want to make good and beautiful beings. You have called me by my name in my mother’s womb. You have given me breath, light and movement, You walk with me every moment of my existence. I am amazed, Lord God of the universe, that you attend to me and, more cherish me. Create in me the faithfulness that moves you, and I will trust You and yearn for You all my days. Amen
Not to Worry
Lord, If it’s not your will let it slip through my grasp and give me the peace not to worry about it. Amen
Decree & Declare
In the times when my life appears to be in a state of disorder, confusion and disappointment, I wonder how I can set things right, how I can change the picture. At this time, I decree and declare, in Your name, dear Lord, in prayer and petition, to give me the strength and the power to see clearly and to be lifted up in spirit and deed. I give thanks for the shift in perspective. I hold respect for Your Divine Order. I see it all as it rightly will be. I give praise and I thank You.

{affirmations}
One of Those Good Days
It’s one of those days when I feel so giddy with love for the world, that I have to think a few serious thoughts now & then to keep me from floating away.
Beyond the Images
I am content to learn from followers of other paths and to walk with them side by side toward the God who lives, I believe, beyond the images that bind and blind us all.
Not Afraid
I am not afraid of tomorrow for I have seen yesterday and I am working on improving today.
Godly
I look at the sky. Too rarely, do I look at the sky. Too rarely do I notice how different it is from moment to moment with clouds coming and going, with movement in the sky. And I think about weather, the unpredictable, sometimes delightful, sometimes disappointing, element which is Godly.
Human Spirit
I have a powerful human spirit. I will nourish it with work and play friendship and family God and goodness.
