Thy Kingdom Come!
Dear Friends in Christ,
“Do not look forward to what may happen tomorrow. The same Everlasting Father, who takes care of you today, will take care of you tomorrow, and every day. He will either shield you from suffering or give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace, then, and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations!’ (St. Francis de Sales)
College tuitions, health concerns, mortgages, the stock market, job security, kids…and the “worry” list can easily go on and become very personal for each one of you. It might help to remember that your loving Father in heaven is aware of all of them and will help you through whatever storm or battle that lies ahead. My dad had all of these issues very much on the forefront, but his kindness and warm sense of humor showed that he knew who was in charge. Although he worked very hard, his confidence was in God, not totally in his human qualities or abilities to get it done.
