I don't have a great scripture or poem or wonderful essay with butterflies and birds soaring today.
I know seeing what ya'll offer will make my spirit soar. There seems to be a weightiness in the atmosphere right now...like the Lord is taking a deep breath before the next events. 9/11 came and went. I don't think we packed our church houses to capacity to praise and thank him for blessing us. I don't think we quite understand what is to come very soon. I can't find the words to pray so I sing to him lately. At very random times...I just sing and dance to him. Maranatha Lord, we love you!
He loves us sooooo much. He gives us our hearts desire when we love and serve him. He gave me a kitty to comfort me.
Hello Denise Marie!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for dropping by this afternoon; in fact I just returned from Mass and lunch with my husband and little ones and your comment was the first one I read.
As the wife of a fire fighter, I too feel that so many have already forgotten the profound loss, anxiety, and fear of that fateful day (9/11). I also agree (as I looked around Mass this morning) that there was waaaay too much room in the pews for a people that NEEDS to be grateful and thankful to our Lord.
In fact, today's homily was, "What will you do on the Last Day?" The answer should be, "What I always do; give praise and thanksgiving to my Lord." One should not wait until they think the end is near to begin begging for forgiveness, seeking penance, or praising His name. How prophetic that you should have such a similar message.
Wishing you a wonderful start to the week! Blessings to you,
Valerie

It is so true! I always try to look for God in everything - even in the love that my beloved doggie gives to me everyday. It makes me smile and I feel His love and care for me constantly this way. I LOVE to sing praises to Him also - loudly in my car - I am sure I am quite a sight as I am driving down the road lol!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this reminder to find joy in all that the Lord has done for us - especially for keeping us safe every day.
Blessings to you,
Kymber
