Morning Offering given
I’m sorry for all the times I promised to change
but fell back into old habits.
I’m sorry for saying I follow You, yet ignored
reading Your word to know You better and draw closer to You.
Help me to trust in You, to follow Your lead, and to live according to Your will.
I’ve disappointed You more time than I can count
but I thank You for giving me a new day.
Thank You for being with me through
the highs and lows
I know You have never left me.
You have been my strength in the highs
You have been my comfort in the lows
You have been my constant companion through it all.
I thank you.
Be with me today, help me to stay on the path to you.
Amen.
Village quiet and peaceful.
St. Jude reminds us that God will never abandon us. Jesus, I thank you for men and women like St. Jude who give me hope through the trials I face. Amen.
Meditations for Each Day, pg. 432, Divine Worship, Charity, and Justice
We have a strict duty to honour and obey God. We are obliged therefore, to worship God both internally and externally, since both sou and body are created by God. Internal worship is especially necessary for without it external worship would be an empty formality. It is useless to kneel before the altar, to assist at sacred rites, and to recite vocal prayers, if all the time our minds are elsewhere and we are lacking in the love of God. Spiritual adoration and prayer are more important than the bowed head and the bended knee. It would be a grave error, however, to imagine that internal adoration is sufficient and that there is no need to assemble in the church to observe feast days, or to participate in sacred rites and receive the Sacraments as the Church commands. Everything should be subject to God.
Scripture Readings for Day 28 of Overcoming Fear
Proverbs 15:33 The fear of the LORD is training for wisdom, and humility goes before honors.l
Matthew 10:28 And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.r
Good Morning!
Beautiful morning… the buck and the doe missed me
Got my guys to the SMRT bus headed for fishing, will pick them up around 1730.
Got Harvey’s fax sent off.
My hearing aides are dismal. This is the third pair I’ve purchased over the years, all have been garbage, $12,000. wasted. So much for professional hearing help. Will be researching OTC ones over the next few days. Medicare doesn’t cover hearing aides… they should.
Will also be looking for new car, new to me car.
Ordered new shoes for winter. Picked up new Mukluk cotton compression socks. I’m liking how they feel this morning.
Looking for a good free book inventory app that will connect my PC, tablet, & phone. So far, the things I find have been too old for my devices.
Know you are prayed for.
