Peace

Peace. Don't we all want it? Only God can give it.


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,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
Amen.

~St. Francis

The Flower


Its a small flower.  And its all I have.  Its me.  I give it to the world and it tears my flower to pieces. And I have to start all over again.  I give my flower to people and they do the same. I give my flower to everyone and everything I think of, till I'm so broken. I hurt.  And I fall to my knees.  Petals all around me, faded.  And then someone starts to pick up the petals and put them back into a flower.  A kind hand takes mine, and helps me up.  Eyes so kind, so beautiful.  I can't look away.  He gives me back the flower.
"Take it. It's all I have."  I say. 


Jesus take all I am.

Be Happy

I love this picture. I want to be just like that girl.  I just want to sit and be happy.  When I look at that picture, I think that girl is marveling at God's goodness.  Someday the worries and the cares of the world overwhelm me. Those are the days that I need to be like this picture. To sit and think of all my Savior has done for me.

Thank you God for my family.
Thank you God for missions.
Thank you God for my life. 
Thank you God for all my friends.
