Third week in Advent

It´s already wednesday in the middle of the week of JOY!

Preparing our hearts JOYFULLY to welcome our Lord and Savior.

Around my home you can see me changing the environment with putting up some decoration or baking Christmas cookies..Lol.....

Last sunday after making some hours ( i´m not doing yet my normal work as an nurse) at work by putting up an christmas tree for the elderly...

I came home and decide to put up also an tree in our home....So we went for an stroll not far from our house for an `real tree`.....We all love the smell.....

We had to re-arrange the furniture to give it an good place......

So that is what i did when the time and energy was there and clean all the dust bunnies,that came out.

So today is the day to `un wrap`our tree...lol..." What a Joy".....

Liturgy For Second Sunday of Advent (Second Week of Advent)

S.O.S ....Advent 1

Sunday, November 27 




First Sunday of Advent


Watchword for the Week - Then they will see 'the Son of Man coming in
clouds' with great power and glory. Mark 13:26


Isaiah 64:1-9; Psalm 80:1-7,17-19 1 Corinthians
1:3-9; Mark 13:24-37


You have seen how I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself.
Exodus 19:4


You did not choose me but I chose you. John 15:16


Loving God, why have you chosen us? We are not worthy, yet you chose us.
So often we wander from you, yet you are always with us. You are in the
faces of our neighbors, enemies, and strangers. We cannot escape your
grace; help us surrender all that we are to you. Amen.

Hosea 6:3 KJV
Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD:
his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain,
as the latter and former rain unto the earth.

Promise #328: I will come to you as certainly as the sun rises and the spring rains fall.  

I like how the NIV Bible express Hosea 6:3...
Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.” NIV

God is faithful. He is always faithful and we can count on Him in every situation. We don't have to give it a second thought. Today's promise encourages us that our God and Father will come to us as certain as the sun will rise in the morning. Even on days where the clouds cover the earth, His sun is still shining in the heavens. And when rain is needed, He showers His blessing upon the dry ground.

If you feel discouraged or disheartened today, if your circumstances are shouting loud that God is no where to be found, be encouraged! He is closer to you than you could possibly imagine. I pray that you will know that He is faithful and He will come to you as certain as the sun will rise in the morning.

Faith 2 Chronicles 16. 9....................

2 Chronicles 16:9 KJV

For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth,
to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.
Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.

Promise #322: I look throughout the earth to strengthen those who belong to Me. 

God is always watching us. His eyes are running to and fro throughout the entire to looking to strengthen those who belong to Him. He never abandons us or leaves us to our own devices. He is always there and an ever present help in our times of trouble. Even in the darkest times when you feel completely alone, you aren't. God is with you and His heart is to strengthen those who belong to Him.

In Hebrews 12:1-2, it says that we are to fix our eyes on Jesus and run the race marked out for us. Think about this for a moment... When we are fixing our eyes on Jesus, He is fixing His eyes on us! Amazing huh! May the tangible reality of feeling God's gaze become more and more real today so that we might find the strength we need to live today.

S.O.S.......13th of November

This morning i soaked in music from Woman of Faith and the song posted touched me and is my prayer for every day.Make my heart Your Home Lord!

The 2nd one is an great song i can listen to over and over and reflect on esp during the season of Advent that is coming......


Breath Of Heaven (Mary's Song) Lyrics
We have traveled, many moonless nights
Cold and weary, with a babe in sight
And I wonder what I've done
Holy Father, you have come and
Chosen my love, to carry your son

I am waiting, in a silent prayer
I am troubled, by the load I bear
In a world as cold as stone,
Must I walk this path alone
Be with me now, be with me now
Breath of Heaven, hold me together
Be forever near me, breath of Heaven
Breath of Heaven, lighten my darkness
Pour over me your Holiness, for you are Holy
Breath of Heaven
Do you wonder, as you watch my face
If a wiser one, should have had my place
But I offer all I am
For the mercy of your plan
Help me be strong
Help me be
Help me
Breath of Heaven, hold me together
Be forever near me, breath of Heaven
Breath of Heaven, lighten my darkness
Pour over me your Holiness, for you are Holy
Breath of Heaven
(Repeat chorus)
Breath of Heaven
Breath of Heaven
Breath of Heaven

FAITH........Week Promises..... @ Fearless friday.......11-11-11

Psalm 27:1 KJV

The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Promise #313: I am your light and your salvation, the strength of your life.

There is a confidence that the Lord wants you to walk in that will cause fear to flee from our lives. It is the confidence that the shepherd boy David walked in when he defeated the lion and the bear while tending the sheep. It is that same confidence that David had when he ran towards a huge giant named Goliath armed with just a sling shot and a few stones.

David knew that the Lord was his light and his salvation and was the strength of his life. As a result of this revelation, David could walk in a holy boldness without being afraid. God wants you and I to have this revelation too! Jesus Christ is our light and our salvation and the very strength of our lives! We have nothing to fear because if God is for us, who can possibly stand against us!

May the boldness of a lion (Proverbs 28:1) rise up within you today as you reminded who you are in Christ!

Frequently a long my faith Journey i cling to this vers more than once and it builded up my faith.....When fear tried to creep in my heart at occasions  it disapated when the words. LIGHT.........SALVATION.....STRENGHT of MY LIFE saturated my mind and heart.......

Lately early mornings when the sun comes up in the skies I remember THE SON of man JESUS CHRIST who shines HIS LIGHT down on us every morning again over and over again relentlesly to warm us up....to let us grow...to enjoy and benefit from His radiance.........

Autumn Days `Falling Leaves`

Prayer for Autumn Days 
Sr. Joyce Rupp, OSM

God of the seasons,
there is a time for everything;
there is a time for dying and a time for rising.
We need courage to enter into
the transformation process.

God of autumn,
the trees are saying goodbye to their green,
letting go of what has been.
We, too, have our moments of surrender,
with all their insecurity and risk.
Help us to let go when we need to do so.

God of fallen leaves
lying in colored patterns on the ground,
our lives have their own patterns.
As we see the patterns of our own growth,
may we learn from them.

God of misty days and harvest moon nights,
there is always the dimension of mystery
and wonder in our lives.
We always need to recognize your power-filled presence.
May we gain strength from this.

God of harvest wagons and fields of ripened grain,
many gifts of growth lie within the season of our surrender.
We must wait for harvest in faith and hope.
Grant us patience when we do not see the blessings.

God of geese going south
for another season, your wisdom enables us
to know what needs to be left behind
and what needs to be carried into the future.
We yearn for insight and vision.

God of flowers
touched with frost and windows wearing white designs,
may your love keep our hearts
from growing cold in the empty seasons.

God of life,
you believe in us, you enrich us,
you entrust us with the freedom to choose life.
For all this, we are grateful.
Amen

Autumn is a time for Prayer
