Let it be Done!

"Son of David, have pity on me!" 
the two blind men cried out to Jesus.
And Jesus asked,
"Do you believe I can do this?"
They said YES enthusiastically
and Jesus healed them.
"Let it be done for you according to your faith."
Mt 9:27-31

I can imagine myself as one of those in need of healing
and calling out to Jesus.
If He says, "Let it be done for you
according to your faith,"
what would be the result?

I hope I am not like the fool
who built his house on sand!
I keep reading and listening to God's Word
but do I ACT on it?

Faith and action.
We need to prove our faith 
by our actions sometimes!
We can't say we believe and 
still be anxious, still be unforgiving,
still be stingy!!!

WOYWW: What do You have in Your Hand?

This is my desk at four in the morning.
You can see a picture of hands, carbon paper,
and my ready made background.
I also have my bible reading:
For today I was reading about Jesus in Matthew 15
about the multiplication of the loaves and fishes.

After 20 minutes, this is my desk.
I have recently been enamored with 
tracing pictures and painting them over 
with acrylic paints.
Although I can now draw hands,
they won't turn out as good as this:

"How many loaves do you have?"
Jesus asked the disciples
after he saw the hungry crowd.
The disciples answered that they had 
seven loaves and a few fish.
Now how could that feed a huge crowd?

"How many loaves 
do YOU have?" 
What do you have 
in your hand?
Just as Jesus was able to feed the hungry crowd
with just a few loaves and fishes,
He will be able to feed and clothe the needy
if we give what we can.

This Christmas we are going to prepare
gift bags for 300 inmates of our local jail.
The first time we did this, I was amazed
at the resources that were poured into our hands.
This is our 4th year to do this
and I am expecting God to multiply
whatever we have in our hands 
so we can give 300 or more prisoners
a Christmas party and some gifts!

I really do have to update my blog
about the Prison Ministry but it is difficult
because it is hard to bring a camera inside the jail!

"Blessed are the eyes that see what you see!"
Luke 10:23

May I See Jesus more Fully!

 
We are in the Advent season,
a time of waiting, a time of  preparation,
a time of hoping.

"Jesus, may I SEE You more fully
this Advent season."
This is my prayer.
It is quite difficult, especially for me,
not to be caught up in the frenzy 
of the Christmas season.
We have several gift shops
and ever since I can remember
we have always been so busy
taking care of the stocks in the stores
so that we will have good sales.

How do I prepare my heart for
the coming of the King of Kings?

 
"Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy
from the anxieties of daily life."
Luke 21:34

Yesterday at mass, 
Father Herb said we should be like 
MILES CHRISTI, a soldier of Christ.
We should be spiritually fit,
disciplined Christians,
free and not enslaved 
to many things the world offers-
like cellphones, and email, shopping
and watching all the latest movies!

"Only say the Word and I will be healed."
Matthew 8:8

Only Jesus is our Hope.
Only He can free us.
Only He can heal us.
Let me see You more fully
this season, Lord!
