{blessings}
Choose Generosity
You can choose to be generous, or you can choose to be stingy. Choose generosity because you can, because it’s the right thing to do, and because generous people are happier people. God blesses you with choices every minute of the day. Choose wisely.
Subtle Urging
God is speaking to you in the most subtle forms of urging. May you be blessed with a spirit that listens and the faith to follow.
Test of Success
The two hardest tests in life are the test of failure and the test of success. Passing the test of failure requires discipline, courage, and hope. But to pass the test of success, only one thing is required – humility. May God bless you to rise above failure and lower yourself in success.
Raised Right
If you raise your children right, you can spoil your grandkids. If you spoil your children, you’ll end up raising your grandkids. May you be blessed to enjoy your grandkids as God intended.
Rely on the Divine
Don’t let your happiness depend on anything that you might lose. May God bless you to rely on the Divine for peace, joy, and contentment.
{prayers}
God is the Blessing
God, Your pure and perfect love is in my heart and helps me see the good in all people. This love brings me to a place of peace and fills my soul with wonder. You are the blessing I share with everyone I meet today.
Healing for Women
Dear God, Help her heal. Let Your radiant light shine unto her heart and permeate the darkness simmering in her mind. Bring her a full and mighty recovery that sustains and nourishes her. May her healing come soon.
Living Gratefully
Dear God, Help me live gratefully, forgoing the constant chase of more and better. May I never lose sight of the abundance surrounding me and the riches in my heart.
Teach Us, Good Lord
Teach us, Good Lord, to serve You as You deserve, to give and not to count the cost, to fight and not to heed the wounds, to toil and not to seek rest, to labor and not to ask for any reward. Save that of knowing that we do Your will.
St. Ignatius Loyola
Prayer For My Pet
My prayer for my pet. Dear God, grace my devoted companion with long life, enthusiasm for each day, a high-spirited bounce in step, and love ever-lasting.
