Prayer for rain… O God, in whom we live and move and have our being, grant us sufficient rain, so that, being supplied with what sustains us in this present life, we may seek more confidently what sustains us for eternity. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen.

My Day to pray for cmomc and those intentions.

Join me in praying for rain… O God, in whom we live and move and have our being, grant us sufficient rain, so that, being supplied with what sustains us in this present life, we may seek more confidently what sustains us for eternity. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.

Looking forward to seeing everyone tonight at Kircher’s 4th of July party.

Tomorrow, we head to Rockford to remember our cousin Teri.

And I’m sure you are sick of me talking about it nonstop, but on the 3rd 540pm, we will be viewing “The Sound of Freedom” at the Sparta theater. Join us. This movie is important.

For those we want to view the incorupt body of Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster in Gower, MO, there is a bus leaving the 31st from Middle Ridge. Contact Pat Slattery for details.

Know you are prayed for.

Chores…

Somehow, we must figure out a way to be “family” again.

Somehow, we must figure out a way to change family responsibilities (chores) into joyful, happy, willing moments.

None of us look forward to scrubbing toilets. Some of us dread the chore, others totally ignore it.

Somehow, we must figure out a way to make it an “act of love.”

We do dishes not for ourselves personally but for the person who will eat from it next.

We do laundry not because it is our duty but so the person who wears it next looks their best.

We clean house not for ourselves but for those who live there with us or those who come to visit. So they are comfortable.

Every responsibility is done not for ourselves but for others. Their comfort, their peace. Their joy.

Somehow, we must change our minds/hearts from drudgery to willing.

May I suggest we begin with if, on your path today, you see something that needs doing… simply do it. No fuss, no bother, no recognition. Do it for the joy someone will have when they realize it has already been done.

Coffee’s good

Really looking forward to the movie “Sound of Freedom” on the 3rd. Not a clue how many will see it, but I am hoping many. Sex trafficking children has been swept under the rug. Our children are sexualized on a daily basis by children’s clothing and groomers. Parents encourage by allowing children to wear provocative clothing. We have a crisis in this country that no one wants to acknowledge. This movie will be painful and sickening to watch, but it is so needed for us to watch to feel sickened so that our eyes are opened to what the real agenda is.

The world is losing faith in God. We have been systematically brain washed into looking the other way, into keeping ourselves too busy, into letting ourselves believe we are giving our children more than we had when in fact we have given them way less of our time, our attention, our thoughts, our faith…we have allowed them to becomes the generation that is complained about in the work force.

We have allowed television, movie stars, athletes, and schools to raise our children. We abdicated our parental authority to whomever talked a good line. We have failed to pass on the faith because that faith didn’t allow something that we wanted to do or made us feel guilty and uncomfortable or hurt our feelings.

All humans were created to long for God. We all have that “something is missing” feeling. That “hole” we keep dumping stuff into. That “missing piece” is only filled by God. Yet we continue to resist because God’s demand for total surrender is too hard, too painful, not fun, and doesn’t make me the most important.

I am as guilty as you are in this area. Pray for me in this regard.

Know you are prayed for.

A little shimmer turned out to be a loose ball joint and chewed up to the steel wires issue.
