America: A Dangerous State Of Disagreement!

**While Praying The Rosary, I saw the American Eagle.**

America seems to be in a permanent, not to mention, dangerous state of disagreement right now. Will our country survive? Will our country return to what it once was, The City on the Hill? Will we once again put Faith, Freedom and Family first? Regardless of the outcome of Tuesday’s election, we don’t know yet. We must pray for whoever wins the next election and pray for the American people.

In Acts 15, we see the church in a state of disagreement. In verse two we see they had “no small dissension and disputation”. But disagreements need to be settled by someone. As in this case, our disagreement in America must be settled by God and our willingness to listen to God and be obedient to God ?. If we do not, America as it was, will not survive.

We are here on this earth to serve God and each other, not ourselves.

We need not have doubt as to what God commands us to do. God made His Will for our lives clear in the Holy Bible. But in order to understand God’s Will, we must ask the Holy Spirit for Help, and read God’s Word Daily. And we must be willing to obey God’s Will as it is written, not as we wish it were.

Jesus Especially Loves Children!

**Seen while Praying Rosary: A very poor boy!**

“So he saved them from the hand of the foe and redeemed them from the power of the enemy.”-Psalm 106:10

Jesus Is The Promise Kept :)

I saw Jesus covered in Rainbows. He wore a long robe and His entire robe and His face were covered in Rainbows 🙂

We have always known that the Rainbow is a sign of God’s Promises Kept! 🙂

It’s not a symbol of any organization here on earth, because the Rainbow belongs to God. It always has and it always will, because God created it! The Rainbow will always be a symbol of God’s Promises Kept! 🙂

Jesus is the Greatest Promise Kept. Despite the horrific suffering, both for Jesus and all who loved Him, we are Saved by God’s Great Sacrifice and Love!

May we learn to love as much as G0d does 🙂

Welcome Argentina!

Jesus’ Great Gift!

“Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors.”-Isaiah 53:12

How amazing! Jesus was willing to suffer so much so that He could save us. He loved us that much! His Gift and His Love for us are more than we can comprehend and the last forever.

There seems so little we can do in return. But there are a few things we can give Jesus. We can accept His great Gift and Follow him. We can read the Bible, with the Holy Spirit’s Help, every day and we can live a life that is pleasing to God. And we can follow Jesus’ two commandments: ” ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’This is the first and great commandment.And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ “-Matthew 22:36-40.

Faith & Obedience :)

“Who has believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord received?”-Isaiah 53-1

“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness to all nations; and then shall the end come.” – Matthew 24:14

Diversity In America :)

Seen While Praying The Rosary: All different people at a picnic, some walking to it. Everyone was happy-together 🙂

I was reminded that the diversity we see in America is the same diversity we will see in Heaven. One website defines diversity like this: “Diversity is the range of human differences”. That seems like a great place to start :).

God created all different people. All different countries. All of these people have different ideas, different cultures, different styles…And God commanded us to love one another. And we should enjoy each other too!

One of the things that made America so strong is that we knew how to do that. We need to help ask God to help us do that again 🙂

War Is Truly Horrific!

While praying the Rosary, I saw a soldier running after a man in regular clothes. The soldier shot him in the back.

War is not neat and tidy. Horrific things happen in war. Soldiers die. Civilians die. Both are wounded. And they are wounded not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. Sometimes forever.

We are so Blessed in America. War has not come to our shores in our life time or the lives of our children, but it may come one day.

Meanwhile, please pray for all those who are suffering through one!

Prepare, Pray and Be Ready.

Hang In There!

“There was once a daring escape from a Nazi war prison. The inmates had dug a tunnel, which sadly had surfaced twenty feet short of the cover of a wooded area. So they waited for a moonless night and sent one man into the woods to watch for the time when the guard would turn his back. His job was to pull on a piece of string which ran from the woods down into the tunnel. This would let the next prisoner know it was safe for him to emerge. One by one, the man felt the tug of the string and surfaced, running into the safety of the dark woods. Unfortunately, the guard heard a sound and walked across to the area where the hole was located. He didn’t see the opening but tood by it for some time , looking suspiciously around the locality. Time seemed to stand still for the next prisoner who was waiting underground for the tug of the string.

Suddenly, he lost patience. He could stand it no longer. He moved forward, then up and out of the hole in the dark. It was the last thing he did. The guard swung around and fired on him with his machine gun, filling him full of lead.

We can learn from that man’s fatal mistake. His error was threefold. He lacked patience, faith and obedience. If only he had trusted the one on the other end. If only he had obeyed in faith and obedience. If only he had trusted the one on the other end. If only he had obeyed instructions given to him, he would have found his freedom. Instead, he lost his very life.

The Bible tells us that we inherit the promise of God through “faith and patience”. There are times when a Christian asks God for something, and there is a delay. But he doesn’t lose patience. He hangs in there. The One holding onto the string can see things he can’t and He (God) knows what is best for him.

As Long As We Are Alive: We Can Always Come Home :)

**While praying the Rosary, I saw Mary and I fall far away from the Cross, and then return. And I heard “you can always come home”**

No matter how far we have fallen, no matter where we are in life and no matter who we are with, we can always go Home to our Lord. He is waiting for us always, with open arms and an open heart. God loves us and as long as we are alive, we can return to Him and He will help us 🙂

God will meet us exactly where we are, no matter what!

For God never gives up on us 🙂
