DD#5’s St Day… St Caesarea (virgin, recluse, Oranto, Italy) as well at St Isidore (Patron of Farmers) Let us give thanks and be grateful for God’s bounty and those who nurture and harvest it.
Let’s talk about Lydia (a gentile businesswoman) who came to believe in the God of Israel. She was a spiritual woman which is what drew her to the river where she met St Paul (you know the soldier Saul who persecuted/killed/hunted down Christians until the Lord confronted him) She listened to Paul and thru his speaking accepted the gospel which filled her with joy, passion, and energy. She asked for baptism, not just for herself but for her entire household. She was filled with the Holy Spirit and eventually, her home became the base of operation for St Paul’s ministry to the people of Philippi.
Make a note today about the way God has changed your life. I’m not talking just about the huge things, I’m talking the minute, things that dawned on you as you went thru your day. The blooming of flowers, the rise of the sun, the mourning dove call, that note from a friend that touched your heart, the out-of-the-blue phone call or drop-in visitor that changed how things were going for you. The compliment, that pat on the back, the little favor a child did for you. Take note of the way God has changed your life today.
Know that you are prayed for.
