A huge success

Thanks to Our Lord the picnic was a huge success.

The weather was  great, the food perfect.

A huge crowd with folks from many states and countries due to the sisters world wide connections.

I had my eye on a huge beautiful oil painting in the silent auction and I was able to win that within my budget.

Will post that later.

Let us rejoice and be glad.

The Lord's Day

Thanks for this beautiful day.


"God calls everyone.  He has been calling you.  He has instilled in you gifts and
life experiences that you are to use and share with others to help them in some
aspect of their life.  Take time to let God in, find your calling, and then answer."

 From 

"The Whisper of God"

 

Thought for the day.
"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the
door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me."  (Revelation 3:20
NIV)

Today's Prayer

Lord, although some of the lessons I have learned in my life have been hard, I thank
you for everyone of them.  It is from these experience that I have grown and learned
how to deal with difficult situations.  Now it is time for me to open my heart and
eyes to understanding your will and for me to pass on my experiences to others who
may be in need of understanding themselves.    Amen.

3rd Sunday of Lent

Hope

Therefore, since we have been made right in God's sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us.

Romans 5:1

Let us rejoice and be glad.

Prayer of St. Theresa

It is said that when one prays the Prayer of Saint Theresa, as a sign that your prayer was heard, you will experience the smell of rose, see roses, or come across roses in some form.

Saint Theresa's Prayer
May today there be peace within. 
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. 
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. 
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. 
May you be confident knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. 
It is there for each and every one of us. Amen

May all of blogland have a blessed, restful Lord's Day.
