DAY'S SAINTS

Yellow crowned sparrow in a dense tree.

We may not see the fruition of our dreams, but God's Will is more than a match for any dream, and if we allow Him, He surpasses all our expectations. A subtle nuance is all we have to go on, sometimes, Then  someone shows up on our stage, and the air is suddenly cool and clear and our soul refreshed by what someone is being, and in the being, we are bid to go forth and evangelize the world for Jesus who chooses not to be so easily accessible to us. 

We may not be aware of just how refreshing we are to souls when we have embraced the Lord and He transformed us. All our little labors seems so inconsequential, but what does it hurt us if His coming could not be anticipated, and in all our unworthiness, He chooses to let us be refreshed as we were refreshing others. Labors are never meant to be fruitless. All our feeble gesticulations may not catch anyone's gaze, but God has no trouble being visible to us when He wants.

I may not be bleeding so that men may see, but whatever I am doing, He ratifies in me when it pleases Him, and what was hidden is made visible, accessible to me, so I may still serve Him however humbly.

What was, still is, and if we seek Him we will become like Him, and that is always a refreshing moment. They may not do what we ould want, but What God has in mind is always better, the choicest part, even the unspeakable pain. To love enough to please Him, we must hurt and awful hurt, but let it not be because we saddened Him with our sin and selfishness.

Make offerings of love, for they will be received, and if we have given indeed, we shall be pleased ourselves.

There is only one of us. Let us be like Jesus. Let us rest, and when they come for Him, let us respond by being at His side at least in our desires.

It is refreshing to hear the truth and to witness it being defended. Children are not objects of sexual manipulation in any sense. Bravo for defending the truth.

Ora et Labora

Today is Wednesday, but I can't shake a feeling of dread. There has been so much negative news, that it is difficult to maintain your head above water, and I am telling you, that you must speak to the Lord for assistance, and set aside time in your day for Him alone, and probably, you would feel better if you did so more than once a day.

It is like my potted plants. None of them are blooming, because it is not the season for blooms, but they should be appreciated whether they bloom or not, and it is important to water them regularly so  that when the season arrives for blossoming, the flowers will reward me.

In my case, for the moment, I am satisfied that He has me in a good place and I feel reassured that I please Him and I will be safe. That is important, because the evil in the world hates peace and quiet, and will do whatever is necessary to stir up a person's emotions in order to take attention off of Jesus, even though it cannot abide His presence at all. Since God is everywhere even though He does not affect what is real, from our perspective, it is like an itch you cannot reach. 

Every time there is a general election, the republican party threatens retired people with a reduction in their Social Security benefits. This is an evil and pernicious tactic by ignorant and heartless people. The benefits came from wages and was set aside for elderly retirement, and is not welfare item; it was actually acquired because the person worked for wages, and the benefit was set aside so people could retire.

No doubt, republicans would be upset if they lost their jobs or their businesses failed, so it is a small mind that could conceive of reducing what people need to live since everything is going up in price.

I am careful with my money and I do not go into debt with a credit card. But food and rent take up so much, that there is nothing extra or left over. Doubtless, if the congressmen were to be fired and denied benefits, they would be dismayed. If they had any greatness at all, they would recognize that the elderly person and the congressman are in reality in the same position and ought to be careful that they don't bring harm on one another by their actions.

Trust

We have had a long and stormy winter, and spring waiting unpent in time. These storms are reflected  in our souls, and we can only marvel at the twists and turns involved. TSo do otherwise would be to weaken resolve and test faith when it was  unnecessary. God's Will will be done, and we ought to seek Him out while it is possible.

He insists that His Will be done, not for the sake of domination, but for the sake of the salvation of  our souls. We are blind when it comes to trying to see spiritual realities, and  our guides are  uncertain, and God never waivers. Certainty is elusive, so we dare not place our faith anywhere but God.

Anyone who is doubtful or lacks trust, should ask earnestly for  it, and stay very near Him. This is accomplished by merely desiring it, for He wishes us to trust Him. He will set our feet on solid grounds and our keep us safe from false paths, so we follow Him with fidelity.

How shall we proceed  on  life otherwise, with the horizon forever at a distance from us and subject to the mists of time? Is there any certainty in life without Him?

We were born into life from our mother's womb, and we felt certainty in her embrace, so that we learned that to become fully human we must watch her every move and always seek our comfort at her breasts. As we grew up, we learned to trust our parents and be  unafraid of things harmful in the world. As we have been reborn we must learn to trust.

Seek the garden of His solitude, and listen in the silence as you have always done, and your hands will be strong enough  to share in His passion.
