Just once

We must pray not to be tempted to commit even the smallest of hurtful acts. Once we justify in our minds one small hurtful act the next act to inflict pain becomes easier. No matter how hurt we are by someone, we need to find a way to release the hurt not return the hurt. This is one of the most difficult choices God asks of us. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit please bless us with your Grace, Wisdom and Love.

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.

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!

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.

Struggling in my Quest

Today I felt such sorrow. Several friends in the past seven days have lost their parents. Sadness and grief is for those of us “left behind”. What joy those who have moved on must be feeling. I have mentioned before I long to be in the presence of our Lord and Savior. I pray each day that I am worthy. I know that God loves me and that each day is one more step on the path towards Hope. That thought alone lifts my spirit. Each day is one more day to show others how much I truly love God through my actions. Thank you God.

Another day

I sit and listen for direction. Which path am I meant to take? The Lord has always answered my prayers. I have not always recognized immediately that the answer has arrived. Usually I am looking for what I think I need. God answers with what He knows I need. Thank you my Lord and Savior.

A Day in my Quest

When we are young we live for growing and experiencing new things. When we are old we live to share those experiences and to help others grow. To stay young we should continue to grow and experience new things but never be afraid to share them. God shares with us each day. We experience God through each other.

A Day in my Quest

What a beautiful day! White fluffy clouds to soft gentle rain. Most of all quiet contemplation. Unexpected time to rest. Sharing laughter with family. That deep laughter from the depths of your soul sharing memories. What a marvel The Lord created when He made our minds. Memory savers better than any flash drive, thumb drive…storage device. The ability to store thoughts, retrieve memories from sight, sound, touch, smell. What a wonderful imagination Our Creator has one as infinite as He Himself.
