Tell Us What You Think
Through God we have the power to triumph over even
the most hopeless of tragedies.
Lord, You have said,
"Ask and You shall receive",
so I ask that You
will prepare me day by day to triumph in my dark
hours.
Amen
Joy
"Joy is what happens when we allow ourselves
to recognize how good things are.
Joy is not necessarily what happens when
things unfold according to our own plans.
How often that’s happened—
we married the right [person], had the children, got the job—
and we’ve still known despair.
Joy is what happens when we see that God’s plan
is perfect and we’re already starring in a perfect show.
It demands that we have the audacity to
embrace the knowledge of just how beautiful we really are and
how infinitely powerful we are right now
—without changing a thing—
through the grace that is consistently born and reborn within us.
" - Marianne Williamson

HEART
Whatever our hands touch---
We leave fingerprints!!!
On walls, on furniture,
On doorknobs, dishes, books,
As we touch we leave our identity.
Oh please where ever I go today,
Help me leave heartprints!!!
Heartprints of compassion
Of understanding and love.
Heartprints of kindness
and genuine concern.
May my heart touch a lonely neighbor
Or a runaway daughter,
Or an anxious mother,
Or, perhaps, a dear friend!!!
I shall go out today
To leave heartprints,
And if someone should say
"I felt your touch,"
May that one sense be... YOUR LOVE
Touching through ME.
God answers Knee-Mail!
Guidance
When I meditated on the word guidance,
I kept seeing "dance" at the end of the word.
I remember reading
that doing God's will is a lot like dancing.
When two people try to lead, nothing feels right.
The movement doesn't flow with the music,
and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.
When one person realizes and lets the other lead,
both bodies begin to flow with the music.
One gives gentle cues,
perhaps with a nudge to the back or by pressing lightly
in one direction or another.
It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully.
The dance takes surrender, willingness,
and attentiveness from one person and
gentle guidance and skill from the other.
My eyes drew back to the word guidance.
When I saw "G", I thought of God,
followed by "u" and "i". God, "u" and "i" dance".
God, you, and I dance.
This statement is what guidance means to me.
As I lowered my head,
I became willing to trust that I
would get guidance about my life.
Once again, I became willing to let God lead.
