Have you ever taken a few moments from your busy life to stop and smell the roses? Do you ever consider that some of the greatest gifts given to us by God are free, but very precious and many times taken for granted?
Have you ever searched for peace within yourself after struggling with all the fears and worries of daily life? Have you ever let the stresses of life stop you from enjoying your life?
Without going into detail, I will tell you that God has given me the gift of peace recently in my life. I never placed enough value on this gift but now that I have experienced it personally, I won't let it go. There is something to be said about "giving it up to God" because once you do, the burdens of life don't seem so unmanageable.
A very good friend of mine whom I miss getting advice from, namely Father Campion, told me he would get up early every day and pray the rosary because it gave him so much peace. Since his death, I have done the same. You know, he's right there is something to be said about praying to the Blessed Mother.
"Love your neighbors as I have loved you" cannot be done without peace. Let's all pray for peace today, tomorrow and forever.

Well said DL! Let go and let God, I always say. And sometimes it's easier said than done. But with daily prayer,practice and persistence, it can happen.

ReplyDeleteHave any of you witnessed first hand the delivery of another human being?
ReplyDeleteI am proud to say that I have been in the delivery room, acting as coach and mother, to all my children and grandchildren.
I can't express the thrill and love that was filled in the hospital room while I watched with great anticipation the birth of my grandkids. At the same time, I looked at my daughters in a different light. I realized that although I will always consider them my babies, in reality they are beautiful, grown adult women. I am so proud of how they have turned out. They are both fabulous mothers. What more could I ask for?
