Blessings from the Lord

You know. . .when you look, you see. You know how when you buy a new car, everywhere you look there is one just like it? Well, blessing are like that too. They are there all the time, we just don't look!

I have been praying every morning with my Lord. Putting in time to be with Him and He is spending time right back with me.

We have been struggling financially and it is so hard to let go and let God step in.  My hubby and I have always made it happen. So here we are stranded in a tough time and everything we have done to fix it has not helped. So, what is our lesson here? "Stop trying and just lean on Me, He says!"

So we continue to plug away and plug away and attempt new ideas. . .no avail.

Prayer, time with God, on our knees in front of the Holy Eucharist.

And then on e day a check arrives, a new client, 2, 3 ,4 . ..  

Oh, don't get me wrong, He is not dousing us in cash. He is giving us enough to keep our eyes still on Him!



We are blessed!

“God has created you for eternity. Don’t settle for less.”

50 people over the age of 95 were asked, “What would you do different if you had to do it over again?”  Their answers were filled with the valuing of eternity.  Their top three answers?
1) Reflect more- Consider what is truly valuable.  Enjoy, embrace, enter into the valuable relationships around us every day.  Loving God and loving others with passion every day.
2) Risk more- When it’s all said and done, it’s not about success or failure, but about risk.  Did you live and go for it?  Nothing is more sad than this, “What might have been.”
3) Do more thing that would live on after I am dead- Did I make a difference?  Having lived a life of significance is a great, eternal desire in the human heart.  The happiest people at the end of their lives are not those who have focused on gaining, but on giving.

So, I have been in a Secrets of the Vine book study for the past few months. . .it is the one of the only thing in my life right now that I feel is feeding me. Time with my kids, clients and my Lord are nurturing me like I haven't felt in a while. Again my dearest Lord is tugging on me and making me His own again. Thank you so much my faith Lord!

A fun day iceskating!

And the smores afterward by the fire were amazing. . .as was the almost chocolate pudding like hot chocolate! Merry Christmas!
