Week 10 - The Journey Day 7
"Amen, I say to you, whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it." Luke 18:17
I have this image of my grandchildren's day, they will wake up and not really knowing what the day will bring, will bounce right into it. They are in loving homes and are well cared for, they will do the next thing that is placed in front of them. They will be corrected when they are stepping out of line and at the end of the day will lay down to begin again tomorrow. They are loved and love their parents, they trust in what they say and each day is a lesson that adds on to the previous one.
Now I think about my day, I begin again with hope and trust in my heart. I thank my Heavenly Father for what the day holds, I trust Him in what it brings, I know life will teach me lessons and I know that I am loved by Him. I may not like the outcome but that is ok because it is beyond my control other than what God gives me to do. I can't express being child like in any other way, trusting God in all your circumstances is no different than my grandchildren trusting in their world. God seeks this in our lives and this I believe is faith.
What is God saying to me? The kingdom of God is not a destination, it is in front of you each day. I will not give you anything beyond what you can bare. I love you and I only want the best for you.
Dear Father, these are busy days and I am trying, there are things beyond my control and I am trusting. I don't always like what the day brings but I know there is purpose in it. I thank You for the strength to fight the good fight, to endure when sometimes I don't want to. I am blessed by Your love and the love of Mary's Immaculate heart, she plays an integral part in this journey. Prayers for friends in the battle, living in the kingdom and are being faithful to Your call. Prayers for diligent parents watching over their children teaching them life giving faith. Bless this day Lord, anoint it's fruits and bless Your kingdom with our faithful efforts. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Mother of Love, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Glory of Domestic Life, Pray for us.
