Exaltation of the Holy Cross reveals Jesus’ priceless sacrifice in allowing Himself to die on the cross for us. Lord, let me proudly display the cross so that I never forget what you did for me.

Meditations for Each Day, pg.367, Filial & Servile Fear
We should not be afraid of God, because He is our greatest benefactor and loves us infinitely. Because they think only of majesty and justice of God, some people keep themselves at a distance from Him as Adam did after he had sinned. This false fear of God dries up our piety and lessens our trust in His mercy. It can lead to moroseness, to scrupulosity, and to discouragement. It is true that the fear of God is recommended many times in Sacred Scripture, but it is filial fear which is intended, not servile fear. Servile fear keeps us apart from God. But filial fear is akin to love and brings us closer to Him.

Scripture Reading for Day 14 of Fruits of the Spirit
Exodus 34:6-7 So the LORD passed before him and proclaimed: The LORD, the LORD, a God gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in love and fidelity,* 7 continuing his love for a thousand generations, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion, and sin; yet not declaring the guilty guiltless, but bringing punishment for their parents’ wickedness on children and children’s children to the third and fourth generation!c
Jude 1:21 Keep yourselves in the love of God and wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life.r

Very nice Fall Fest over the weekend. Looking forward to seeing it through a camera lens in the next Cashton Record.
The boy is home, not sure for how long. The girl is in TX visiting. The rest of the children are in their homes with their family. Pray for Tom, poor decision & outcome. I wonder why he cannot make the distinction between cause and effect. Action and outcome. There’s a missing link in his thought process. I wonder sometimes if an exorcism should happen previous to adoption so that whatever demons were present previously are banished beforehand. Adopted children seem to carry such heavy baggage, some never being unpacked and dealt with.
Know you are prayed for.
