The wheel of life seems to pick up steam,
As the Holidays become the theme.
Surreptitious shopping…too extreme?
Worst case scenarios…your daydream?
Lost harmony…on life’s balance beam?
Prayerfully ponder: what is your scheme?
Get off the wheel, slow down the whirl,
Make time for God, away from the swirl!
Kids MOST NEED your peace, the priceless pearl!
Open your hearts, let Christ’s love unfurl!
God bless,

“We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade the presence of God. The world is crowded with Him. He walks everywhere incognito.” CS Lewis
You may have to keep your eyes, heart and mind open, but if you look around…God is absolutelty everywhere in your daily life. Allow his love to penetrate in you and through you!
God bless,

“Holiness is irresistible. If even 10% of the world’s population had it, the whole world would be converted and happy before the year’s end.” CS Lewis
Beauty attracts…holiness inspires. Be holy and inspire your family and friends to desire the love of Christ that you have in your hearts! Happy All Saint’s Day!

“The people with very hard problems are understood by God. He knows what wretched machines they are trying to drive. Some day he will fling them away and give those people new ones; then they may astonish everyone, for they learned their driving in a hard school. Some of the last will be first and some of the first will be last.” CS Lewis
Patient endurance with yourself and patient endurance with others…only God knows the complexity of pain behind a difficult person. Trust in his mercy and try to be an instrument of his mercy for others!
God bless,

“Many things have gone wrong with the world that God made and…God insists, and insists very loudly, on our putting them right again” CS Lewis
When you look at the opiod crisis, the declining church attendance, religious division, threats of world war, selfishness and sinfulness…it can be tempting to get overwhelmed and simply stop trying to change the world. God will never give up, and He is counting on you to inspire the souls that he has put in your path with the holiness of your life. Don’t give up!
God bless,
