A little book prayer

This is from my daily prayer book:

I have been treated with contempt, dear Lord, and I ask for courage to benefit from what has happened to me. Teach me to know that great graces cannot be obtained without humility. Those who are to have them must be humiliated to be made worthy by humility to receive the blessings that you withhold from the proud. Having experienced the present humiliation, may I treasure and look upon it as a sure sign that you have some special grace in store for me.
Amen

I hope this makes someone smile today:)

Let's set an example

Some days you realize that people do pay attention:)

The things we do:)

or try to do:)

so continue to do the right thing

go forth and put

Faith In Action:)

(this is a catchy phrase)

funny thoughts

the oppression continues, I must ignore it, and let the truth set me free:)

some funny thoughts to make you smile:)



Friends may come and go, but enemies accumulate.

If you think that there is good in everybody, you haven't met everybody.

Every time you make ends meet, someone moves the ends.

If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.

All things being equal, fat people use more soap.

Just call me gangail

Forgiveness & Bondage

Forgiveness & Bondage = the peace that was lost
sometimes we allow others to hold us captive, we have to remember that no one can make us do anything,
we allow them to control us.
So for today, no guilt, no one controls me with their passive aggressiveness, or by their(perceived) holiness to make me feel non holy,
I am me,
if you like it good,
if you don't ,just read the below new title for me:) and by the way I am not PMSing today,
just free of Bondage:::::))))))
