Hi Tom Jr,

I pray that whatever’s troubling you, gives you strength. I’ve experienced troubles that did just that… became a strengthening blessing. It’s not a small miracle when we receive love… it’s what heals us.

Love,

Ed

Me too, Ed. I tend to kick and scream (figuratively) and then, finally accept the trials. That’s when the healing begins. Thank you for the reminder.

Dear Tom, I’m praying that whatever it is you are facing, you’ll find a way to get through it and even in the thick of it you will find strength you didn’t know you had. Better times are ahead for you if you can just get through this. I’m praying you will.

Pastor Lovette was a true Christian, not a Christian in name only.

He certainly walked the walk, didn’t he?

Taking in the stranger, feeding and clothing him.

Not judging him.

Leading by example.

Truly a Christian.

He did indeed.

Pretty great thing when somebody decides to take you in, believe in you, have you belong.

Grace comes in all kinds of packages. And it can sure change things

I love that when I’m feeling despair, I read a story of Hope from Sean of the South.

A story of hope fills the heart!

Brings to mind the prayer of St. Francis—

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.

O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; it is in dying that we are born again to eternal life.

These are the actions which change lives: peace, love, pardon, faith, hope, light, joy, consolation, understanding, giving, loving, pardoning, dying. Lord, make us instruments of your peace.
