Resolving conflicts today
“We need be careful how we deal with those about us, when every death carries to some small circle of survivors, thoughts of so much omitted, and so little done-of so many things forgotten, and so many more which might have been repaired! There is no remorse so deep as that which is unavailing; if we would be spared its tortures, let us remember this, in time.” Charles Dickens

Giving credit where credit is due
Relying on God
TKC!
“Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done.” CS Lewis
Christ is always close by, especially in our storms, but we need to reach out to him.

Trying to console Christ
Simple Faith

As we grow older, we need to re-gain the simplicity and trust of our childhood.

Reaching out
Being challenged
“The greatest honor God can do a soul is not give it much; but to ask much of it.” St Therese of Liseux
So grateful to my swim coach as a kid and all those other coaches, teachers and spiritual directors who have gently challenged me and pushed me to a higher level along the way…God’s plan and His dream for us is so much bigger than we think…fan your gifts into a flame and allow him to love and work through you!
God bless,

Transition times
Never doubt!
TKC!
“A thousand difficulties do not make a single doubt.” St. John Henry Cardinal Newman
St. Mother Teresa and so many other tremendous saints all went through darkness and difficulties….but they kept their eyes on Jesus and never doubted his very personal and loving plan for their lives.
God bless,
