09/01 – Dear Lord; We’re all guilty of succumbing to fear now and again. The day-to-day trials and tribulations we face, even in good times, can make it very difficult for us to focus on the blessings in our lives. Please fill our hearts with the courage and fortitude to do what’s right, and to see past the fears that can immobilize us. As always, You Rock! Amen. ~Phather Phil
08/31 – Dear Lord; Sometimes, when it feels as if the world is on our shoulders, it’s very difficult to see ourselves in a positive light. May all those in the throes of turmoil see themselves, if just for a moment, through your loving eyes and know that warmth and peace. Amen. ~Phather Phil
08/27 – Dear Lord; Today, I’d just like to give thanks… Thanks for wonderful friends, a loving family, food in my belly, air in my lungs, and all the other simple little blessings you bestow on me each day. While I’m guilty of losing sight of it now and again, I do realize that I am blessed. Amen. ~Phather Phil
08/26 – Dear Lord; I was reminded this morning of the Taoist Principle of Wu Wei, which teaches us not to fight the Universe’s nature but instead to flow with it like water around a rock. Pondering this, I realized that idea applies to our Faith as well. If we spent more energy embracing your love and guidance instead of fighting the world around us, we would all be happier people. Amen. ~Phather Phil
08/25 – Dear Lord; With all the trials and uncertainty pervading our lives in these difficult times, it becomes very easy to get discouraged. Searching for inspiration, I came across Proverbs 14:23; “In all labor there is profit, But mere talk leads only to poverty.”. Thank you so much for the little push… I needed this morning. You Rock! Amen. ~Phather Phil
