I do not know about you but for me PEACE is everything these days. I have been through so much this and that and now all I want is peace. Let’s all remember that peace only comes from God and we have to be open to gain that peace by taking ownership of what we’re dealing with in our lives and giving our burdens to Him by letting go and letting God.
A lot of things that we are dealing with in life we created ourselves but there are some things that were out of our control. Either way, we have to allow God to help us gain peace thought it all. In order to gain peace, like I said before, we have to take ownership of our actions, we have to admit our faults, intentions and communicate with whomever we are dealing with to fix the problem. If it’s something we did, we have to be humble and ask for forgiveness, if it’s something someone else did, we have to accept the apology and if they choose not to ask for forgiveness, we have to let go and let God. In any situation, as long as we do our part with good intentions, we will be able to gain peace. Now, if it’s something out of our control, we definitely have to let go and let God and trust Him that He will work it out. We spend so much time worrying about things but instead we should give God our burdens and be confident that he will work it out. These days are short and peace is good for the heart so whatever you are dealing with or worrying about, TRUST GOD, RELEASE IT and LET IT GO!!!!! If we want to sleep at night, we have to let it go. I’m 52 years old and I strive for peace and I’m telling you when I focus on God’s love and grace, I’m at peace and it doesn’t matter what someone else does, I just give it to Him. Let us work toward peace and allow God to work in our lives. I know you are tired because I am too so let’s take control of our lives and ask God to guide us along the way and bring us peace each and every day. Amen and Thank You Lord.

In life, we all need to take control of our lives and do what’s in our best interest because this will give us peace and this will allow us to serve more.
We wear so many hats in life, we complain and we make excuses but it’s time to take control and be stronger and wiser so that we can be better people. The choices that we make, the people that we let control us and laziness are things that hold us back. We have to remember that God gave us a mission, we don’t know what tomorrow may bring but we need to focus on what’s important on our journey. Family, Friends, Spouses and Significant others sometimes hold us back and we have to listen to our hearts so that we can move forward in life. Sometimes, their actions are not intentional because they have things going on in their lives as well. However, today is a new day and if someone doesn’t have your best interest, you need to rethink that relationship. Taking control of our lives, sometimes causes us to feel pain, sacrifice and to take a step back at times but if we can still move forward through it all, it’s worth it. I know for me, I have dreams/goals and sometimes it’s tough because I’m wearing so many hats but I still try to do what I can when I can and ask God to guide and help me to do the rest. Our mission is to serve and be happy while doing it so whatever we have going on in our lives, let’s evaluate what we’re doing, determine how we can move forward and how we can take control over our lives. We all are precious, we all are unique and we all have a purpose. Let’s not let situations, people or stress control what we’re doing, control what we need to do or control our destination but instead work towards allowing God to work in our lives to better serve the Body of Christ one day at a time. Amen Hello everyone,
I wanted to say a special prayer for all. Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with you, blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus, Holy Mary mother of God pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen Happy Mother's Day to all Mother's and especially my Mother. Mom you are a wonderful person and it's all because of you that I'm the person I am today. I love you and I thank you Mom. Love always. Dear Father, please be with all of us, guide us and help us to be good mothers and just good people. Help us to follow your path and help us to be more like you. In Jesus name we pray. Amen Please enjoy the poem below: Mother’s Day is a day full of love To give and to Thank God from heaven up above For blessing us with great moms each and every day He made sure we had love in each and every way We should appreciate our moms for what they have done Day in and Day out when we were young The sacrifice, the struggles and so much more They deserve this day and every day like never before We need to value the gift by our moms and grandmothers too It’s the gift of life and a blessing from what they had to do I know it wasn’t easy because the world is a mess We probably gave them headaches and put them to the test If we look back in the day, our moms still loved us through all things The good, the bad and everything that we had to bring I give kudos to all moms because they work so hard to meet the need They did it with integrity and class while planting the seed The seed for us to grow and become young adults like we should That’s all they want is to make sure we’re safe and good I’m a mother myself and it’s such a blessing to witness them all grown up I give it all to God and that’s real stuff Even if your mother is not with us on this earth today Know that she is still with you and that everything will be okay Happy Mother’s Day to all and everything that you’ve done and do Always know that you’re the best and we really really love you Amen and Thank You God for all Moms As we all know, the situation we’re in today is absolutely insane. When I go to the store, I feel like I’m in a movie seeing everyone wearing facemasks and gloves. I’m always watching my back and it’s way too much but in every trial or tribulation, we have to see the positive side of things to gain peace and joy in order to cope and stay sane so let’s continue to keep our heads up and know that this too shall pass.
I’m going to try and keep this quick and to the point but sometimes it’s hard when you talk from the heart so I hope that you get some blessings from these words of wisdom, prayer or reflection. The Coronavirus Pandemic has taken us to another place on our journey and have us all thinking about life. What’s going to happen next, what if this, what if that? Well, I don’t know about you but what I know is God is still in control of it all and we’re not. Don’t take this negative but I think sometimes we get so caught up in ourselves that we lose the focus of striving to be holy or being sensitive to others. Sometimes it’s not intentional because we all are hurting in some form or another in our lives and sometimes we react to how we feel. This situation is teaching all of us what’s really important, what’s not important and how we as people can come together to contribute to the mission set by God. During this mess, we have to not forget that we’re still in the Easter Season - the resurrection and the opportunity for new life even through the Coronavirus. I think it’s strange that all of this happened during Easter Season. As I think about Easter, it brings me back to my childhood and as an adult so it’s two-fold: One: As a child, all I can remember is dressing up, getting a new outfit, getting my hair done, dying eggs and eating lots of candy. That was the life and I wish I can go back. Those of you who don’t know, I grew up in a single-parent household and my mom had to work hard to take care of us so she didn’t really have time to tell us everything but she did teach us about Jesus and the importance of love by her actions. So I consider that being good teaching because she showed us rather than telling us the meaning of Easter and the importance of our relationship with the Lord. Two, as I got older, that’s when the real meaning came into play. (The struggles) You know we all have problems and we’re on this journey trying our best to make it and sometimes it’s tough depending on the situation and what I’ve learned over the years is that life is not about us, it’s not about material things, it’s not about titles but more about what we’re doing, how we’re allowing God to work in our lives and how we’re treating others and giving hope to the world. That’s real During my journey, I have encountered many things that I didn’t understand and I thought I wasn’t able to make it through but I’ve learned that Jesus is Love, Jesus forgives and Jesus gives us peace so as an adult during this time I have an opportunity to refresh my relationship with him, own up to my mistakes, have some kind of accountability of my actions to heal, remind myself to let go and let God and to begin again with his love. That takes faith and knowing the true meaning of His sacrifice for all of us. I’ve learned that God does miracles every day in our lives by allowing us to still be here, by allowing us to share in his glory and by loving us unconditionally. I’m 52 years old I think oh I stop counting lol but the bottom line is we don’t have much time here and we don’t know what tomorrow may bring. We’ve learned that through the coronavirus. Let’s not sweat the small stuff but be true to ourselves in doing what’s right and just. So even though we’re in this mess, again, we’re still in the Easter season. God has given us a second chance to live and every time I think about my problems or what’s around me, I think about what he did for me and for us. My problems don’t even come close to his sacrifice. When we learn the importance of his Divine Mercy and sacrifice, we’re able to begin to live with peace and joy. That’s very important to me because life is not good all the time and when we know of his love, we’re able to cope though the good and the bad because he has a plan for each and every one of us. So if you’re going through something, hold on, trust Him and you will come out on the other side praising his name especially if it’s out of your control. I ask all of you again to pray for my mother doing this time because she’s dealing with lung cancer and actually pray for the entire family. In life, we all need strength when we’re in the storm and at the same time, let’s pray for each other that God helps us to find peace on our journey and through this Coronavirus Pandemic know that it’s all in the palm of His hands. Let’s not lose the faith but know that during this time, we can still win when we work together as one Body of Christ and trust in our Lord. To conclude, I realize through these times, God is helping me not to worry about what happened yesterday but to see what’s in front of me today. I hope you do the same and know that Jesus is love. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E62ZfiHiCYc Amen and Amen. As I think about today, all I can do is Thank God for his many many blessings. Today is my anniversary for 29 years. I can’t believe that it’s been that long and I’m so appreciative of it all because marriages today don’t last and it’s just by God’s grace that we’re still together so I just have to give a shout to God and my husband for being so good to me. In saying that, I realize that we can’t take things for granted, even the little things in life and really appreciate God for all that He has done and is doing in our lives each and every day. It’s one prayer that I love and I try all the time to live up to this because we’re not in control and this prayer reminds me what’s really important. It’s the Serenity Prayer and every time I read this, it sort of reminds me the importance of treating people the way I would want to be treated and to love even if it’s tough love, the way God loves me. Let us pray: God grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change, courage to change the things that I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; taking as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His will; that I may be reasonable happy in this life and happy with Him forever in the next. In the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen and Amen |
