Thanks for sharing this.

It’s quite timely and I hope it helps my fiancee,who is passing through a lot,in the hands of her stepmum; who would never want her own choice to ever stand.

We are currently rounding up our Novena prayer to st. Jude (the patron saint of difficult cases). We pray he intercedes for us,as we patiently wait for God’s will to be done.

God bless you!

Very powerful message. My first 5k I ran last year and though it was hard I was determined to bet my time the following year. My husband decided the day of the race to run with me and to my surprise running with him cheering me on and I cheering him on together we crossed the finish line and beat my old time with ease. Running the race alone was possible but much more difficult. Running the race together made the experience more enjoyable and accountable because you are in it together. Working together to get each other to heaven is so important and making sure you are also cheering others on to finish the race of life is also an important message. Thanks for the great reminder.

So discouraging to be a parent of a child that very often opposes us and refuses to do what we ask. Basic things, like washing hands, not making a mess at the table, putting on pants. The baby years were hard, the toddler years are hard, God help us through this journey with our strong-willed, obstinate child. That’s what I think of in terms of persevering.

Thank you Bob. I love this reflection. It is encouraging knowing that if we stay close to Jesus, He is inside us helping us to carry our crosses. It helps me to focus on Him, not my crosses. God bless you.

Thank you Bob. We continue the race. Hopefully “honking” all the way home.

So thankful for my mom and dad, God rest their souls, who were and are witnesses, as they quietly and faithfully lived out their earthly crosses, leaving a powerful example to follow.
May I be that, I pray this morning.
Thanks, Bob

Tks Bob, I love your reflections. We are indeed part of the cloud of witnesses. We are the “saints of our day”
There are people who look up to us.
Jesus is at the finishing line waiting for us. Urging us on. Telling us to keep our eyes on the prize awaiting us.
