"Can any of you by worrying add a moment to your life-span? If even the smallest things are beyond your control, why are you anxious about the rest? Notice how the flowers grow. They do not toil or spin. But I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of them.
Instead, seek his kingdom, and these other things will be given you besides." Luke 12:25-27, 31

Advent Day 12 - Notice how a flower grows. We can worry ourselves sick, it weighs us down. Look at the flower, it stands tall, striving to reach the sky, it allows the Sun to shine upon it and strives that much more. Rains come, winds come and it withstands it because it is strong. There is a lot to be said by looking up and seeing God shine upon you. The worries and anxiety's go away because you know you are loved. Jesus gives us words to live by, He gives us a flower to ponder and He shows where real strength comes from. It will soon be Christmas, give yourself the gift and be just like the flower, looking up, smiling bright and showing the beauty of God shine thru you.
What is God saying to me: As you look up, your roots are growing deeper into My Sacred Heart, they will sustain you when times are tough.
Dear Father, there is so much going thru my mind, You have blessed us abundantly the past several days, lives are being changed as they spend time being shined upon. I thank You Father for firmly planting me within Your Sacred Heart, it is an image that has been with me since childhood, may we all grow up in such a home. Prayers for a couple of friends who are overwhelmed with work and life situations, may they see the joy in looking up and relaxing knowing all is well when we focus on You. To God be the glory, now and forever, Amen.
Mary, Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us.
