It is no good to walk anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching.

St. Francis of Assisi

If you raise your children right, you can spoil your grandkids. If you spoil your children, you'll end up raising your grandkids. May you be blessed to enjoy your grandkids as God intended.

Teach us, Good Lord, to serve You as You deserve, to give and not to count the cost, to fight and not to heed the wounds, to toil and not to
seek rest, to labor and not to ask for any reward. Save that of knowing that we do Your will. St. Ignatius Loyola

Ezekiel 34:26 I will bless my people and their homes around my holy hill. And in the proper season, I will send the showers they need.
There will be showers of blessing.

SHADOW OF PRAYER

Prayer is the forerunner of mercy. Turn to sacred history and you will find that scarcely ever did a great mercy come to this world unheralded by supplication.

Prayer is always the preface to blessing. It goes before the blessing as the blessing’s shadow. When the sunlight of God’s mercies rises upon our necessities it casts the shadow of prayer far down upon the plain.

Or, to use another illustration, when God piles up a hill of mercies He Himself shines behind them, and He casts on our spirits the shadow of prayer so that we may rest certain, if we are much in prayer, our pleadings are the shadows of mercy.

Prayer is thus connected with the blessing to show us the value of it.

Charles H. Spurgeon

AUDREY'S PRAYERS

I ask for help with my anxiety. That I can work efficiently and not doubt myself. I pray for my children that they are safe from harm. Find what they are looking for in jobs. That they can have happy relationships. And that my daughter can have the child she is praying for, amen. Also that my husband can get clear results from his scans. Amen.
