{quotes}
A father is a daughter’s first love and a son’s first hero.
You must be able to give up the life you have planned, in order to live the life God has planned for you. And it is good.
Follow your true heart and God will open doors where there were only walls.
If you can’t be thankful for what you have, be thankful for what you don’t have.
Are you defeated by disappointment or will you be inspired by it?
Don’t try to change the world, find something that you love. Do it every day, do that for the rest of your life. And eventually, the world will change.
– Macklemore
{blessings}
Good Time for Prayer
It’s true. When you’re sick you pray to get better with single minded purpose. May you be blessed to find a path to prayer that is always focused in good times as well as bad.
Belief
The good thing about believing is; when your belief is strong, it makes believing work. May you be blessed with unshakeable belief.
For Good
Evil flows from peoples’ ability to see another human being as something other than a person; good comes from the ability to see and treasure another’s humanity as one’s own. That’s also called love, and love is going to win. May you be blessed with good.
quote by Peter Paul Montgomery Buttigieg
Calm Down
It’s hard to imagine that things will calm down. That something will change. But it will and it does. May you be blessed with hope and appreciation for your new normal.
Life Well-Lived
Better to be overbooked than to be overlooked. May you be blessed to appreciate the busy-ness of a life well lived.
{prayers}
Possessions
Lord free me from my obsession for material possessions. I pray for an end to foolish desires and a new beginning of clear-headed thinking and a healthy perspective. Be with me O Lord as I change and grow.
Spiritual Truth
Dear Sweet Lord, help me rise in the strength of Your spiritual truth. Bless me with eternal good. I am the recipient of Your abundance. I live it. I love it.
He’s Looking for God
My son searched for You and could not find You. I asked “What exactly are you seeing?” His reply was “Nothing.” We stood in the same place our gaze fixed on the same spot. I saw You. In all Your splendor. I felt Your grace, You extended Your hand and touched me. Excited, I turned to my son and said, “God is right in front of you. Listen for a silent stirring from within you, That’s God talking to you.” “I’m sorry Mom. I want to. But it’s not working for me.” Lord, show Yourself. You are all powerful. Reach out and touch my son. Let him feel Your holy presence. Let him know he is divinely loved.
Melt to Grace
Dear God, All my prayer requests seem to melt down to this one: for grace. Amen
Abundance Explosion
Dear God, Now is the time for easing into the warmth of the season. It is time to pay attention and celebrate the rich fertility and abundance exploding in nature. Thank You God, for bringing on summer. amen
