My gratitude November 5

Today's attitude of gratitude is easy. I'm so thankful for my family. We had a family wedding today, welcoming Dana to our family. It was a celebration to beat all celebrations!!!

I had a neat moment when my dad let me know he was in attendance at the wedding .....which made the day even sweeter.

I love my siblings, my nieces, nephews, and in laws....you are all the best!!! Thank God for family!

You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them. ~Desmond Tutu

My favorites.....

"Go out into the world today and love the people you meet. Let your presence light new light in the hearts of people."

~ Mother Teresa

Let's pray for those with whom we are angry. It's a good step forward in this law of love. Let's do it. Let's do it today." ~Pope Francis

"To maintain a joyful family requires much from both the parents and the children. Each member of the family has to become, in a special way, the servant of the others."

Christ has no online presence but yours,

No blog, no Facebook page but yours,

Yours are the tweets through which love touches this world,

Yours are the posts through which the Gospel is shared,

Yours are the updates through which hope is revealed.

Christ has no online presence but yours.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. (Philippians 4:6)

A brand-new year... to live; to believe; to give; to receive; to fall in love; to share a smile; to walk an inch; to run a mile; to dive into sunsets; to forgive; to forget; to love where you’re going; to embrace where you’ve been; to take a deep breath, close your eyes... and begin. May the new year be filled with love, adventure, and dreams come true.

"My church is composed of people like me. I help make it what it is. It will be friendly, if I am. It will be holy, if I am. Its pews will be filled, if I help fill them. It will do great work, if I work. It will be prayerful, if I pray. It will make generous gifts to many causes, if I am a generous giver. It will bri...ng others into worship, if I invite and bring them. It will be a church of loyalty and love, of fearlessness and faith, of compassion, charity, and mercy, if I am filled with these same things. Therefore, with the help of God, I now dedicate myself to the task of being all the things that I want my church to be."

What we tolerate..... our children will embrace.
