RElease those burdens and be at peace

Each day, God gives us a second chance and the gift of life. Every time we awaken is definitely a blessing and an opportunity to get closer to the Lord. It’s a choice to want joy, to be happy and to be at peace. Life can be hectic at times but if we just trust God, it will be alright.  We’re here to do the works of the Lord and we must remember that He’s on our side so whatever we’re going through, let go/let God and let Him work in our lives. Let’s keep moving in the right direction and just lean on Him for all things. Whatever we’re going through, let’s lift up our hands, release the burdens and give it all to God.

I have something to be thankful for today. It’s my 30th wedding anniversary. God has blessed me and my husband with the ability to share life with each other for a very long time. Even though we both are kind people with a good heart, it’s not easy to keep the relationship strong because there are temptations and problems that come into our lives. What held us together is God and only God. A marriage is a sacrament and a commitment so without God being the core of a relationship, it just will not work. We are not strong enough to do the right thing and this is why God said stay connected to the vine meaning Him because if we don’t, our branches will fall, and we will get lost. (Not intentionally but the flesh will take us on another journey).

This journey is all about allowing God to work in our lives and trusting Him each day, walking with faith and being that vessel to give hope to the world and change lives including our own loves. It’s only when we stay connected with God, we tend to want to walk on the right path. Sometimes we get distracted but at least we know where to go to stand up again. My marriage has not always been good, but we managed to get through by the grace of God to keep going even in those rough times.

I always say a partner should be a person who helps an individual walk on the road to get to heaven. In doing that, a couple will taste and see the goodness of God’s love, share it with each other and others as well as have joy on their journey. Finally, when the burdens come into the relationship, release them together and be at peace. God is a good God and I'm so thankful for HIs divine mercy.

Amen and Thank You Lord
