Saturday Thoughts - 11/09/2013

Daily Thoughts: Celebrate each moment as it comes to you…with faith, trust and gratitude. Because all that happens in our life has God’s mark on it. Each day offer a simple fiat…It can be as simple as taking a breath, or the beat of our heart, but let it say thanks God!

Seek God each and every day, not in some far off place, not in the trappings of history but in the world around us. God is always right here, in this place, in our hearts. God is right here, where we stand, where we walk, where we run, where we sit, where we lie down, in the everything we do. God is right here, in our family, in our friends, even in strangers we meet.

God is in our workplace, our homes, our yards, our living rooms, our family rooms, our bed rooms. Because these are all places, altars where offer and receive love and thankfully God is there!

Celebrate life; celebrate life with gratitude and thankfulness today and always!

Have a great Saturday everyone!

Daily Prayer: Give thanks to God, for God is good and God’s love is everlasting. Amen!

Runner’s Thought: “Struggle is the food from which change is made, and the best time to make the most of a struggle is when it's right in front of your face.

Now, I know that might sound a bit simplistic. But, too often we're led to believe that struggling is a bad thing, or that we struggle because we're doing something wrong.

I disagree. I look at struggle as an opportunity to grow. True struggle happens when you can sense what is not working for you and you're willing to take the appropriate action to correct the situation. Those who accomplish change are willing to engage the struggle.” (Danny Dreyer)

Daily Blessing: May our Loving God the source of all blessings grant us the grace of integrity of faith, endurance of hope, perseverance of love and patience in the living of life. May God bless us with peace today and always! Blessings to all! Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul
