The beauty of children freely praying. To hear children sing praise to God. What wonder. What a precious gift from God. Thank you, my Father!

Thanksgiving
As my family becomes smaller I thank The Lord for those remaining and those who were a part of my life. I cherish memories. I thank The Lord for the strength he provides. I thank my God for the knowledge that I am loved.
Memories
When we lose a loved one our grief is for our loss for they have gained more than our minds can imagine. They now walk in the Kingdom with all who have gone before and they share in the presence of God face to face. We live in God’s presence and that is a wonderment itself. To have the privilege and honor to see God must be indescribable. I pray that I be made worthy through my thoughts, words and deeds each day. I know each time I look at the cross that I inflicted that pain upon Christ my Lord and my brother. I cannot tell you how deep I feel the pain in my heart and soul for all I have done. Even the smallest hurtful statement places one more thorn into the head of the precious One. Forgive me, my Father for what I have done and continue to do to Your son, forgive me my brother, forgive me my precious Holy Spirit and guiding light. Please keep my close and provide me the strength to do better each day.
Commitment
Where is commitment? We live in a temporary society. Families have become temporary. Some couples marry thinking if it doesn’t work they can just move on to the next person. What is worse is when one partner is totally committed to the relationship, the covenant and the other is not committed. Christ is invited into the union only to be ignored as a participant. Vows are broken and thrown away like disposable dishes. Lord protect the sanctity of marriage. Help those committed to sharing their lives and their love in your sight. Dear Lord bring back the family. Help couples to understand there are three in any marriage, a husband,a wife and You.
Taking small steps on the journey
When we a born our path is written. It is already known what choices we will make. It is also known that love is present, was present and always will be present. For God is love.
Prayer as part of my quest
I was thinking a lot about my last post. A stranger stumbled onto one of my secret strengths. It is not really a secret, I have told others before, but some just shake their heads as if they understand but you can see in their eyes they do not. I pray before I sing in church want the talent The Lord gave me to be pleasing to The Lord but to also enhance the prayer experience of the Mass. I do believe singing is praying twice. Last night I had to sing a new song, a special request. I prayed the Holy Spirit would join me and help me. My prayers were answered as always. What a special friend I have in the Holy Spirit!
A day in the quest
I received the best compliment ever tonight. I sang an anniversary Mass today. A person I do not know came to me and said my singing was beautiful it was as if I was filled with the Holy Spirit. I could ask for nothing more. Thank you my God.
My Quest
Today I learned once again to always be aware of the perspectives of others. A person’s perception helps to build their reality. I pray that in my journey I pay attention to why people say what they say not just what they say. I pray that The Lord helps me with this critical step in my quest.
Day in the Quest
I search for guidance through prayer. The answers come to me in the silence. Thank you My Lord and Savior.
