It's with your heart And with your life- That's how you worship Him. It's not just words, It's not just deeds; But you go out on a limb. You trust and then you take a 'chance,' But it's not a chance at all. Because when you take that leap of faith, He'll catch you as … Continue reading Untitled
You’re Not Alone
This song (video link below) is a companion piece for yesterday's blog entry for teens. I love that it's a young girl dancing and painting a picture at the same time. Our actions, even our failures, can bring us and others closer to Christ. God will use everything we give Him to bring people to … Continue reading You’re Not Alone
A challenge for teens…
I wrote this specifically for teens. Young people so want to be included, to not stand out, to be part of 'the group,' which ever group they have decided upon. The gauge as to what is acceptable or cool, or the 'in' place to be is so elusive and ever changing. But wanting to belong … Continue reading A challenge for teens…
“So Will I”
"So Will I" https://drowning-in-lemonade.com/2018/03/30/so-will-i/ — Read on drowning-in-lemonade.com/2018/03/30/so-will-i/ Reposting from last year because I love this song by Hillsong United and this weekend is the perfect time to ponder the message! Blessed & Joyous Easter!
A Father’s Love For His Children
So, once again two things happened recently that were quite profound for me. One was hearing the homily our presider at Mass shared after the stirring, dramatic, and so very tragic Palm Sunday Gospel reading. We are there as Jesus makes His triumphant entrance into Jerusalem. And we are there when it ends with His … Continue reading A Father’s Love For His Children
Unum Necessarium
Last night in Paris, the Notre Dame cathedral caught fire. We still don't know how. The entire structure is undergoing renovations and one expert in the field said that the building would start to fall down upon itself within the next 10 years. And so the work began. It is expensive and disruptive to renovate … Continue reading Unum Necessarium
Love one another; forgive one another
I am a hopeful person. I have this hope because of the Lord God, Jesus Christ our Savior, and the Holy Spirit who dwell within me. Hope brings much joy and peace which are awesome 'benefits' of that theological virtue! But amidst my hope these days, I find it increasingly difficult to find Christ in … Continue reading Love one another; forgive one another
The Lamb
As we approach Palm Sunday and the final days of this Lenten season, I thought it was time to share this poem I wrote several years ago... Can you see Him? He's there with that angry mob. No, he's not he menacing one. He's the peaceful One, the serene One, the holy One. He's gentle … Continue reading The Lamb
Neither does He condemn you
Two things happened yesterday that seemed not to have much in common initially, but, as I've discovered happens so often, I saw the similarities very clearly upon further reflection. That morning our Gospel reading at Mass was the story of Jesus with the woman caught in adultery. And in the afternoon my husband and I … Continue reading Neither does He condemn you
For A.P.
Love binds us together It overcomes despair Joins across miles Endures beyond time Abides in Heaven Reaches down to earth Sees through the clouds Rejoices in our happiness Comforts in our sorrow Marries two hearts Cannot be destroyed Is everlasting Reunites in eternity Love is of God God is Love
