"And how can people preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring [the] good news!" Romans‬ ‭10:15‬

For the longest time I thought the good news was only meant to be said by the preacher.  As it is said at the end of mass "Go forth and spread the Gospel with your lives."   We hear it ever Sunday, do we practice it?  Jesus has no feet but yours!  Our lives ARE a witness to others no matter if you say or do anything.  Might as well spread the Good News in all that we do.  

Dear Lord Jesus, I come before You this morning to ask forgiveness, I don't always spread the good news, some days I slip and fall.  Please forgive me.  I love You with all my heart and only want to please You, may I remember this throughout the day when things don't always go right.  Thank You Lord for giving us hope and ability to live in the greatest country in the world, may we not take it for granted.  Amen.  

Mary, Queen of Angels, pray for us. 

A beautiful song that will speak to your spirit.

"Turning to the disciples in private he said, "Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. For I say to you, many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, but did not see it, and to hear what you hear, but did not hear it." ‭‭Luke‬ ‭10:23-24‬

I had the pleasure of going to a Spanish mass last night, they had it going on!  I didn't understand the words but sure felt the spirit and compassion of their praises.  Sometimes we just have to observe to see God in action.  What about you, do you step back and watch others, as you do you will see the Spirit working.  

This advent make the decision to make it different, get involved, be engaged, prepare to receive Christ in a new way.  What can you do to celebrate the birth of Christ this year that you haven't done in the past?

Dear Heavenly Father, to witness others praise and honor You is a blessing.  To be able to see You in action brings joy to the heart.  I thank You for letting the blind see and the deaf hear.  May we realize that there is always newness in our faith if we are open to getting out of our comfort zone.  Lord may this Advent season bring newness to our lives, our prayers and those around us.  In Jesus name I pray.  

Mary, Virgin of virgins, pray for us.

"He said to him, "I will come and cure him.""
‭‭

Do you invite Jesus in?  Pretty amazing to think about the journey and witness the things Jesus has done.  Who else do you know throughout history is able to cure and continue to do so?   There is none other than Jesus.  We have to be open and willing to accept what ever Jesus has for us.  He waits for us to ask and then He says, "I will come and cure him."  Maybe the cure is immediate or it happens over time, only He knows.  Jesus is the only one!!

Dear Lord God, You continue to amaze me.  I thank You for all that You have done and all that You are doing.  May we recognize when You are in our midst and are seeking an invitation to enter.  May we always come to You when we are in need and not turn to some vice to seek comfort.   Lord, bless this day we each are embarking on, may we use the time You give us to the best of our abilities.  I ask this I n the name above every other name, Jesus, Amen. 

Come Lord Jesus, come.

"In [those] days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day that Noah entered the ark. They did not know until the flood came and carried them all away. So will it be [also] at the coming of the Son of Man."
‭‭

As we prepare for the advent season, the coming of the Lord.  These verses reached out to me, times are pretty much the same.  There are those who are getting ready, like Noah and there are those who think it foolish.  History has a way of repeating itself except this time it won't be a flood.  We are not promised tomorrow, maybe we think we have time but in reality the Son of Man will come to each of us, prepare the way for Him.  Be a messenger for Jesus this Christmas season.  

Dear Lord, I so enjoy this time of year, the festive lights, the decorations in our homes.  Help us prepare our hearts, as well, or You Lord.  Help us see the true Joy in knowing You and making room for You.  May we hear You calling for us Lord and may we respond by sharing Your Love with others.   In Jesus name, Amen.  

Come Lord Jesus, Come.

"Come, let us sing joyfully to the LORD; cry out to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with a song of praise, joyfully sing out our psalms."  Psalms‬ ‭95:1-2‬

This is a great time of year, we get to spend time with family and friends.  There is a lot to be thankful for and to count our blessings over.  God's gifts are lasting, these times with family we get to treasure.  These memories last forever, we will be able to carry them for ever.  Thank God for all that you have and all that God has given you.  He never fails to provide the things that are lasting.

Dear Lord God, You are the rock of our salvation that gives us life and gives it abundantly.  May we see the things that are important and never miss an opportunity to be joyful.  May we always sing Your praises Lord God and be hopeful for tomorrow.  Give us insight and understanding to not miss an opportunity to witness for You.   May today be filled with blessings that last forever.  I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.

"In my heart I treasure your promise, that I may not sin against you." ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119:11‬

Is there a sin that is not against God? If He bore all our sins on the cross then the answer is no.  What do you treasure in your heart?  Is it happiness or is it pleasure.   The word of God produces happiness, the world gives us pleasure.  The next time pleasure presents itself, think about what you are doing to God and replace pleasure with happiness by honoring God.  

Dear Heavenly Father, we have so much to be thankful for, our families, our friends, the love we have for You. As we begin to prepare for the coming of the Lord, may we treasure your promise.  May we seek you this Christmas season and help those we encounter realize that it is Christ we celebrate not the pleasure the world tries to give.  Bring peace into our homes and our hearts by helping us be obedient to our promises.  I ask this through Jesus Christ, Amen.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

"In all circumstances give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5:18

There are things that happen to us or around us that are out of our control, God is telling us to be thankful.  His will is for us to always be thankful, there is good that will come from it.  God uses all of our circumstances for His glory so today, reflect back and see the good that has come.  

Enjoy your time with family and friends.  Remember Christ has no hands but yours, no feet but yours, no eyes but yours, no ears but yours, no voice but yours and no body but yours.  Let His light shine today thru the darkness.

"By your perseverance you will secure your lives." Luke‬ ‭21:19‬

When it gets hard, or we get frustrated, or things don't go as we planned, do we get to give up or give in?  NO!  No one ever said it would be easy, maybe you feel you are by yourself.  Continue marching forward doing what your conscience is telling you to do.  The prize goes to the victor not the guy that tried really hard and let things get in the way. The nice thing with God, you can ask for forgiveness and His help and begin again.  He knows who you are fighting and He knows how to win.  Plug in each day with prayer and begin again.

Lord God, it is not easy on the battlefield of life, strengthen Your warriors for battle.  ""Great and wonderful are your works, Lord God almighty. Just and true are your ways, O king of the nations. Who will not fear you, Lord, or glorify your name? For you alone are holy. All the nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed."‭‭Revelation‬ ‭15:3-4. May Your Holy words increase our perseverance and our desire to know You Lord God.  Triune God, be our all.

We begin again, yesterday is forgotten both the victories and the losses.  All we have is the day ahead, as I begin today, I ask God to help me and to be ever on my mind.  No matter what comes my way, that I always remember He is in charge and not me.  There is a joy in the quiet of the morning, nothing to distract you but your thoughts.  How do you start your day?  

Father God, I know You hear me and I know you know my day.  May I always trust in what You have in store.  May I remain in peace as I am now.  May nothing trouble me to the point of frustration always recalling You are in control.  You see my future, I just need to live it according to Your will.

"On their lips no deceit has been found; they are unblemished." ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭14:5‬

Have you considered God has a plan to make you a saint, if you let Him?  This isn't done by our own power and might but by the power of God.  We must let go and let God.  Today you are to go out and do what God asks of you.  To live the life that He has planned for you.  A life that has purpose, that has joy in it, that isn't full of strife.  Go be a saint today to those that you meet by being the person God calls you to be.  Remember, it is His plan and you will be unblemished when it is all done.  

Dear Lord Jesus, take the day You have given us and use us as You see fit.  Overcome any short comings and help each of us get me out of the way.  Lord, I am not sure why I feel the way I do but I trust in You, there is purpose and reason for it.  May Your grace be poured out on Your people and may we strive to live the life You call each of us too.  I ask this through Jesus Christ, Amen.

Do you feel like you have been plucked out of life that wasn't going anywhere other than focusing on me?  I find myself going back several years this morning and thinking about being in a fog and not even realizing it.  Then Hope enters in, a life that isn't lived for me anymore.  Does that mean the darkness is gone, no it just means Christ the King is there shining the way forward.  What about you, has Christ entered in?  Is He the One that brings joy to your day.  

Lord Jesus, You are the King of my world, may I always honor You each day.  I thank You for Your strength especially when I am feeling weak.  It is You that delivered us from darkness may we be living examples of Your hope in the world.  Lord God, You showed us how to fight, all in peaceful ways and with love, may we follow Your example.  I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.

"but now made manifest through the appearance of our savior Christ Jesus, who destroyed death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,"
‭‭

What a beautiful morning we are having, my heart just wants to sing God's praises today.  Have you stopped and thought about the resurrection of Christ.   Here is a man, born of a virgin, who conquered death.  That can be some of our worst fears, to die.  Jesus defeated death, what is there to fear?  Life becomes immortal once we have accepted Jesus and walk in His ways.  Death has no power over Jesus and if the One in you is greater than the one in the world, you have nothing to fear either.  

Dear Lord God, You are the creator of the universe, it is You that gives us breath.  We can not breath without You allowing it, may we come to know that You have dominion over Your people and there is nothing that we should fear.  May we recognize You in our surroundings today and always have You on our minds.  Heal Your land Lord, one person at a time.  I ask this through the name above ever other name, Jesus Christ.  

Mary, Mother of God, lead us to your Son.

Do you think about God during the day, while at work or at play?  Knowing God is seeing Him everywhere, in all that you do and how you respond to others.  There is a joy that is hard to explain and a feeling of just being at peace.  Take some time today and witness God in your environment.  Take some time today and read His word, get to know Jesus so your heart may be full of joy, for He is your heritage.  

"Lord Jesus, come and stay with me. Fill my life with your peace, my home with your presence, and my heart with your praise. Help me to show kindness, mercy, and goodness to all, even to those who cause me ill-will or harm."  Prayer forwarded by a friend, may you be blessed with these words today.

"They will smash you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave one stone upon another within you because you did not recognize the time of your visitation."" Luke‬ ‭19:44‬

Jesus said this as he rode into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. He knew what was coming and most would abandon Him on the days ahead. There was Jesus in their midst yet they did not know the Son of Man was there.

We are given opportunities to speak up, to witness for Him. To bring peace into the world and our own lives. Do we speak or do we let ourselves miss the opportunity. Do we add to the turmoil or do we ask God for help and to usher in peace. This is what Jesus was trying to do, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid." John‬ ‭14:27‬


Dear Lord, I thank You for the day that lays behind and for the one that will dawn tomorrow. Calm our spirits when we want to respond, help us witness to Your presence in our lives and not miss the times of Your visitation. Lord God, You are so good to us, may we just be at peace knowing You are guiding our lives. Amen.

Can we play it safe in life?  Nothing is ever gained by playing it safe.  There is no growth, there is no failure only the same thing you had before.  God calls us out into deeper waters and this isn't by playing it safe.  Jesus never played it safe, He challenged the status quo, He brought out the best in people.  He is our example of what we are to do, each in our own way.  Today you will be given the opportunity to grow, what are you going to do?

Dear Lord God, Send us Your Holy Spirit and enliven our hearts to step out into deep waters.  Bring Your Spirit into our day, may we take our eyes off of ourselves and place them upon You.  It is You that gives us hope and joy, may we honor You today by living the lives that You are calling us too.  Lord, may we be overjoyed with the results as we expect nothing to be gained.  I ask this through Jesus Christ, amen.

"So, because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth." Revelation‬ ‭3:16‬ ‭

Can we stand on the sideline and watch the game going on?   We can but you will be puked out by Jesus when the game is over.  Does going to church constitute being in the game?  It is a good start but, you have to participate, you have to be in the game.  Get involved, do something, be engaged, help where you see they need help.  I do not understand why men just sit in the pews and are observing.  In my opinion this is being lukewarm.  Jesus tells us so many times in the Bible, "do not be afraid".  Well the only way to overcome fear is doing so Coach (Jesus) is telling you get in the game!

Lord God, Your church is in need of men that will stand up and be counted, may those men come forward and help.  Our children need examples of Christian living, may those men come forward.  May we not be afraid and step up, the reward out weighs the fear.  Help us overcome our fears Lord by turning up the heat, may Your Spirit speak to our souls.  I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.

"Moreover, you have endurance and have suffered for my name, and you have not grown weary. Yet I hold this against you: you have lost the love you had at first." Revelation‬ ‭2:3-4‬

Here is a question for you, can following Christ become hohum?  Have you been painting God inside a box?  There is a newness to being a Christian then that becomes normal over time.  Christ is never normal, He goes beyond anything we can think off.  I believe Jesus is telling us to never stop seeking Him for there is newness every single day of our lives.   Remember He is God and greater than anything we can comprehend.  Look for ways to bring the newness of Christ into your life, help someone who doesn't know Him.  

Dear Lord, may I never stop searching You out Lord.  May I seek ways of seeing You in others, in those I meet and in those that are in need of help.  Lord may my dry bones come alive through Your Holy Spirit.  I am overwhelmed Lord at the vastness of Christ, bring newness to my day.   Bring joy into my heart Lord and help those weary travelers be renewed in Your Spirit.  May Your Holy Spirit enliven our spirits.  I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.

Jesus is coming, after His ascension into Heaven this will be His triumphant return.  This truth will always be with us until He returns.  But maybe Jesus hasn't come to you or those around you.  Maybe they have been baptized by water but not by the Spirit.  

Your own life testifies to the power of God.  Jesus is telling us it isn't you that they will be hearing but Him through you.   When called to testify, step up and just start speaking.  I have witnessed the power of the Holy Spirit and it is truly amazing.   They will not be your words but His.  

Dear Lord Jesus, we place ourselves within fearful walls, may you knock down those walls.  May Your beauty shine through that transformation in each of our lives.  Lord God, I know there are those searching for happiness may they see the joy that You bring into our lives.  May we recognize the power of the Holy Spirit during mass today.  May we come to honor You and not have any expectations of anything in return.  I ask this in Your most Holy Name, Amen.

Is Luke telling us we are not to do these things?  I don't think so, the people of Sodom ignored God.  They didn't honor Him, worship Him, listen to Him or pray to God.  They brought it upon themselves, likewise we have the same choices.  Do we honor God, do we take time to worship Him, do we listen to Him and do we pray to Him.  All simple actions that take effort and a heart that seeks Him.  

Dear Lord God, You speak to us and we are too busy speaking.  Slow us down Lord and calm our thoughts so we may hear You.  Lord, may we listen to the messengers You put in our lives each day.  May we share Your love thru acts of kindness.  May we say YES, when asked to step up.  Comfort us in our moments of despair and let us hear your voice that says "trust in Me."  I ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, Amen.

As followers of Christ, we are always being trained and guided by the Holy Spirit.  Doing all that we are asked to do is our task at hand.  This never ends in this age for we do not attain our true happiness until we are with The Father in heaven.  Therefore we must not rest thinking I am a good and faithful servant because of what I do.  You are only doing what is expected of you.   The day you believe you have arrived is the day you begin to lose.  

Dear Lord God, may I never think better of my self because of my actions.  May I never take my hand off the plow for the work is never done.  May I be the dutiful servant doing the task at hand not thinking anything other than to please You.  Lord, I ask that the joy in my heart increase this is reward enough for all that You are doing.  Bring peace into our day and guide us on our path.  In Jesus name, Amen.  

Mary, Mother of all, pray for us Sweet Lady, Amen.

"in the hope of eternal life that God, who does not lie, promised before time began, who indeed at the proper time revealed his word in the proclamation with which I was entrusted by the command of God our savior," Titus‬ ‭1:2-3‬

Do you witness God's timing, it is truly amazing to see God in action.  To know that we are each called to be followers of Christ and to witness to His love each and everyday.  He knew the day, the hour, the minute when He would enter in.  There is joy in following Christ, do not let this world take that joy.  Plug in to Jesus, find a bible study, go to mass more than one day a week, pray the rosary.  Seek God out and live His mission He has for you.  

Dear Heavenly Father, words can not describe my feelings this morning. My heart burns for You.  You are the giver of every good gift.  May we use the skills and talents you give us to glorify the Lord.  Send Your angels to watch over us and protect us Lord.  May we seek Your face and turn to You at the beginning of each day.   May we be living witnesses to the love of Jesus today and may we bend an knee in thanksgiving for all that You do for us.  I ask this in Your Most Holy Name Jesus, Amen.  

Mary, Queen of Peace, pray for us.

Luke 20:38

"and he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.""
‭‭
What joy there is in living for God.  What is your focus in life?  To please man or to please God.   Pleasing man is dead, pleasing God is life eternal.   We all have the same hope in Jesus Christ but do we act on that hope, do we stand up for Him?  Eternity is for ever, what ever we must endure on this earth is worth it to be with the God of the living.   Take up your cross and live!

Dear Lord, I thank You for the joy in my heart, You are the living God.  Give us the grace to live according to Your word.  Give us the desire to read Your word and learn from You.  Lord Jesus, show us how our actions speak louder than anything that we do.  You are the God of the living who wait for their eternal reward, may Your Kingdom come within our hearts.  I ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, Amen.

Mary, Spiritual Fortress, pray for us.

"I have the strength for everything through him who empowers me." Philippians 4:13
‭‭
When was the last time you sat in the presence of the living God?  He speaks to our spirit when we take the time to do that.  Who empowers you, is it God or the world.   The world wants to beat you down and crucify you.  It tells you, you are not worthy.  God on the other hand gives you the gifts that are needed.  He tells you, you are worthy, He blesses you with the ability and strength to bring others to Christ.  Listen to God and live in His presence, ever at your side.   

Lord Jesus, I love You with all my heart, there is nothing I will not do for you.  Speak to our spirits Lord, open our hearts to Your message each and everyday.   Bring peace and comfort into our thoughts. Strengthen us Lord Jesus to do Your will.  You showed us how to overcome the world, by looking to the Father, may we imitate Your example.   I ask this through Jesus Christ, Amen.

Mary, our spiritual Mother, pray for us.

"Join with others in being imitators of me, brothers, and observe those who thus conduct themselves according to the model you have in us." Philippians‬ ‭3:17‬

Who do you model yourself after?  We all look up to someone, are they imitating Christ?  Jesus's life was always testifying for the Father.  He is pointing the way home, are your cares and desires that of Jesus or are you focused on things of the world.  Our lives testify a message, what is yours saying to others.  

Dear Lord Jesus, You always lead us to the Father, may we see areas that are in need of improvement.  May Your Holy Spirit speak to us and bring us closer to You.  May we consider our actions and contemplate if they are a true representation of the life of a follower of Jesus.  I thank You Lord for the blessings of rain and for the continued growth of Your Church.  I ask this in the name of Jesus, Amen.

Mary, Queen of Heaven, pray for us.

"For we are the circumcision, we who worship through the Spirit of God, who boast in Christ Jesus and do not put our confidence in flesh,"
‭‭
Living in the flesh or living in the spirit, as I think this morning, I must remind myself that it is thru the power of God's spirit that I must live in. No matter what I see it is thru His Spirit that must compel me to move forward. We have each been cut out of the world and are called to go forth and live in the spirit of God. If I live in the flesh than I am powerless and I will obey the flesh. This is no longer an option because it is Christ Jesus that I worship.

Lord God, You bless us each day to put our feet on the floor, I thank you for giving us rest in Your Holy Spirit. I thank You for helping in our daily life's to be able to see You. Lord God, bless Your people with a care free heart and a spirit of peace. Open the eyes and ears of those that you are calling out of the world to be heirs to Your Kingship. In Jesus name, amen.

Mary, Mother of the Innocence, pray for us.

"And this is the will of the one who sent me, that I should not lose anything of what he gave me, but that I should raise it [on] the last day." ‭John‬ ‭6:39

You are His, and Jesus must be obedient to His Father. We are always being watched over and cared for. Do you realize that? Can you see God working in your life each and every day. Jesus was sent to find you and bring you home to the Father. He can not nor will not lose you.

We are told - "For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I shall raise him [on] the last day."" John‬ ‭6:40‬. This is the Father's will for you. And how do we accomplish this each day? "My eyes are ever upon the LORD, who frees my feet from the snare." Psalms‬ ‭25:15‬. Keep your eyes upon the Lord.

Dear Lord, we are promised salvation thru Jesus Christ, we are promised to be raised on the last day. Once we find You Lord, may we always keep our eyes upon You. If we become lost, You will seek us out, may each of us join You in Your search for the lost sheep. Lord, calm our spirits and help us realize You have it all under control. I ask this through the Son of Man, Jesus Christ, Amen.

Mary, Mother of the Redeemer, pray for us.

Daily Thoughts 11-1-2016 Revelation 7:14

www.dailythoughts.com

"I said to him, "My lord, you are the one who knows." He said to me, "These are the ones who have survived the time of great distress; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."‭‭ Revelation‬ ‭7:14‬

Today we begin again to walk in the way of the Lord.  I am reminded that each day we have the opportunity to call upon Jesus to help us through out the day.  This is not the time of great distress but it does get challenging.   Listen to your heart when under distress, let Jesus help you deal with what ever is causing you distress.   Each day we are being washed and until we can trust Jesus, we go back in for another rinse cycle.  

Lord God, only You know the pain and sorrow we deal with each day.  Walk by our sides and remind us that we are all made in Your image.  Remind us we all need Jesus in our lives and to be washed by Your blood.  Help us understand that our actions maybe the key to helping others find You.  Lord, please forgive me for my wrong doings, may I do better today.  I ask this in Your most holy name, Jesus Christ, amen.  

Mary, Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us and the whole world.
