Imagine the Potential!

Just imagine! There is so much potential if we'd just let God do what He does best, create, nurture, and love!

Thanks be to God!

Novena for Life VIII

To surrender oneself is more than to devote oneself, more than to give oneself, it is even something more than to abandon oneself to God. In a word, to surrender oneself is to die to everything and to self, to be no longer concerned with self except to keep it continually turned toward God. ~~Saint Marie Victoire Couderc~~

We pray.

Consecrated to the Sacredness of Life by Christ

~~~~+~~~~

Thank be to God!

Novena for Life VII

Accept, O Lord my love, even when my ears and eyes, my lips and hands are not fully disciplined yet in the service of love. Accept my love as a desire to love you more every day. Amen ~~Henri J.M. Nouwen~~ (The Only Necessary Thing, pg. 203)

Let us pray.

Remembering Our Forefathers

Novena for Life VI

The life of every human being is sacred as the creation of God, and is of infinite value because He created each person including the unborn child. ~~Blessed Mother Teresa~~

Novena for Life IV

"[Abraham] did not doubt God's promise in unbelief; rather he was empowered by faith and gave glory to God and was fully convinced that what he had promised was also able to do." ~~Romans 4: 20-21~~


And so we pray.

To Love Through Amazement

Novena for Life III

The very fact that God has placed a certain soul in your way is a sign that God wants you to do something for him or her. It is not chance; it has been planned by God We are bound by conscience to help him or her. ~~Blessed Mother Teresa~~

As we continue this journey, I would also ask you to pray the Prolife Rosary as well.

The "G" Challenge

Well it happened. Laura at Catholic Teachers Musing challeneged me to list 10 words using the letter G in honor of GrandmaK. I'm supposing that's one G I can't use. To begin:

Gauntlet
It's been thrown down and now I must accept the challenge. (At least there was no "double-dog-dare!)

God
The one and only, three in one Triune God. The essence of life.

Grandchildren
Being a grandmother is a badge of honor. I wear it with pride. It's also a continuation of this fabulous gene pool.

Gladiolas
A gorgeous flower with strong stems and beautifully fragile flowers.

Grace
This means many things to me. Prayers before and after meals. Gratitude for so many gifts. It is the way one carries herself with dignity.

"Good Grief!"
My favorite comic strip is Peanuts and Charlie Brown my favorite example of humility.

Glorious
Sunrises, sunsets, days, nights, and life.

Grand Canyon
One of God's greatest works of art. You cannot explain the grandeur (bonus G-word) unless you've stood and taken in the beauty.

Green
How can it be anything but my favorite color? Is there any other color if you family roots go all the way back to the Emerald Isle?

Great day...
it is and you all have one, too!
