My People,
Good Morning! When
you love someone, you love everything about them. Sorry for the delay in having
this posted.
No
man has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is
perfected in us. 1 John 4:12
In
love you never pick or choose what you love of your beloved. You love them
anyway.
This
is a Boyzones song "When You Say Nothing At All". It's got amazing
words and it's sung by one of the most fabulous of music groups in its time. If
you aren’t in love, you would want to be. Part of the lyrics of the song are:
It's amazing how you
Can speak right to my heart.
Without saying a word
You can light up the dark.
Try as I may, I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing.
[Ch] The smile on your face
Lets me know that you need me.
There's a truth in your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me.
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall.
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall.
You say it best when you say nothing at all.
All day long I can hear
People talking out loud (oooh).
But when you hold me near (you hold me near)
You drown out the crowd (the crowd, the crowd).
Try as they may, they can never define
What's been said between your heart and mine.
[Ch] The smile on your face
Lets me know that you need me.
There's a truth in your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me.
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall.
You say it best (you say it best) when you say nothing at all.
Can speak right to my heart.
Without saying a word
You can light up the dark.
Try as I may, I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing.

I
have always been very fond of the Irish accent. Matter of fact I absolutely love
to listen to the Irish speak. This is a movie I watched the other day and it
had mostly all the elements that a good love story should have. Could we walk
together?
PS:
I love you. This is a story of a movie, that I absolutely loved watching.
Kindly read on. . .
Holly
is married to the love of her life - a passionate and funny Irishman named
Gerry. So when Gerry's life is taken by an illness, knowing his wife, Gerry
plans things ahead. Before he died, Gerry wrote Holly a series of letters that
will guide her, not only through her grief, but in rediscovering herself. The
first message arrives on Holly's 30th birthday in the form of a cake, and to her
utter shock, a tape recording from Gerry, who proceeds to tell her to get out
and "celebrate herself". In the weeks and months that follow, more
letters from Gerry are delivered in surprising ways, each sending her on a new
adventure and each signing off in the same way; P.S. I Love You. Holly's mother
and best friends begin to worry that Gerry's letters are keeping Holly tied to
the past, but in fact, each letter is pushing her further into a new future.
With Gerry's words as her guide, Holly embarks on a journey of rediscovery in a
story about marriage, friendship and how a love so strong can turn the finality
of death into a new beginning for life.
Day 24th January, 2012 - I was on God’s appointed day in the
Church, on the 24th of January, 2012. I had never known what was to precede that moment. Back then, Tuesday
was my holiday, and I was there for the evening mass. Never had I ever been for
the prayer meetings, I had heard it from my cousin and so I very much wished to
be there. But the mass time and prayer meeting time clashed. Fr. Byron
comes on the altar and makes an announcement that Fr. Rufus will be celebrating
the mass and there would be the laying of hands I think. Thing is the mass was to be celebrated at the annexe, but at that place there was some other event going on, and they had to move to the Church. My blessed day! I had never heard of
Fr. Rufus before. When I finally heard him, I just loved what he spoke. Ever
since that day, I had always wished to hear him.
Day 8th June, 2014 - Pentecost. On the 8th, my cousin gave me his PC and asked me to listen to his country collection. I thought I would just give it a look-but this is what happened. My cousin in his hurry, locked off everything, so I had absolutely no access to anything in the home. And this is what it is-he wouldn’t be back for hours.

My cousin in his hurry, locked off everything, so I had absolutely no access to anything in the home. And this is what it is-he wouldn’t be back for hours.
So
left with very little choice, infact just one, I sat knowing this was God’s
will for me.
As
I was looking through the songs, I found Fr. Rufus-certain recordings of his. I
loved every bit of that day.
Day 9th June, 2014 – Woke up at 1:11 in the midnight hours. Don’t know what 111 stand for.
Day 9th June, 2014- On a Monday morning, after the 7:30 am mass I was just plain happy to see Fr. Warner. What a blessing it always is!
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and he who fears is not perfected in love. 1 John 4:18
When
we accept the reality of God’s love for us, when we're no more afraid of facing
a person or a situation in our life, we will have a control over our
fears.
We
need to abide in God’s love fully knowing that God’s best will always be in His
time not a minute before and not a second late.
When
we recall Gods goodness, we recall God’s amazing love. And when we do that we
will experience a constant gratitude in our hearts which will reflect in
everything we do.
Major
fear that people face is the fear of lack. Hebrews 13:5-6 says you can trust
God to come to your rescue.
When
it seems that absolutely nothing is happening, God has a good plan for you, and
He'll manifest it right on time.
Satan
works overtime trying to convince us that God doesn't love us—that if He did,
we wouldn't be in this situation.
Say
it with confidence, "God loves me!"
Romans
8:38-39, states: For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death
nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening
nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all
creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ
Jesus our Lord.
As
long as you refuse to let anything separate you from God's love, you will have
the victory.
There
are so many instances in life when we can make a difference in the lives of
others.
All
we need to do is give everything our very best. That’s what I do. Any time, any
situation, I wait on God to tell me what needs to be done and I go ahead and do
that. There is no fear. My best is what is expected. (God is always
victorious).
Loneliness
is an ache that is unbearable. . When some things happen that make us realize,
that things are never going to be the way they once were, it often creates
crisis in our lives, which can lead to a sense of loneliness.
Hebrews
13:5, God reminds us that He is always with us and He'll never forsake us.
But
as long as you know that the Lord is with you, you can be assured that He has
all the answers you need.
One
season has passed and another can now begin—if you are willing to take action.
Don't just sit and wait for something to happen or someone to come along. Go
find and be a friend to someone.
Change
is a necessity. It is rather an important and delicate topic as such. This is what
I have learnt in life:
- At some
point in time, we do impact someone with our words or deeds.
- Change must
come out of the love of the heart.
- If a change
is implemented it must not come out of a force rather it must be out of a
genuine necessity to improve the conditions of the people for whom the
change has come about.
- Change must
not be implemented to further ones career but for the betterment of all.
If implemented for oneself then its plain selfish.
- It is upto
each one of us to make a difference, and for that we don’t need to use
power to implement any rule.
Love
is all Powerful and there is none that can stand it. Love is Love. Love changes
everything.
We need to be a reliable people.
We need to be a people who build trust.
We need to be a people who ease others pain.
We need to remember that people need people.
Like I need you. . . . .
In
life we all have choices. There were plenty opportunities when I could have
chosen the way I would want my career to head. God knows, how tempting that
was. But if I chose my career, I would have missed my way to God. See, with
success come a lot of vices. I have never met a person as yet, (maybe for 1 or
2 people who are exceptions) of whom I can say that success didn’t get to their
head. You may think you haven’t changed. And that would be the first of all
lies.
With
Position comes, power and money. And we all know that absolute power corrupts
absolutely.
Seldom,
when given the opportunity to be helpful to the people around us, do we
actually arise to the occasion. From whatever circle of life, people always
help the people who say good things about them, even though, the person may
have done completely the opposite. And disheartening as it may be, we as
Catholics fail in our duties of being Christ like.
Whatever
we do or fail to do—the truth is, at this moment, each one of us is as close to
God as we choose to be.
In
Luke 10:38, there was a woman named Martha who made a choice. She kept herself
so busy cooking while Jesus was visiting her and her sister Mary. Jesus took
notice.
Martha
pleaded with Jesus for Mary to help her. “But the Lord replied to her by
saying, Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things; There
is need of only ONE thing and Mary has chosen the good part...” v 41 & 42.
Work
wasn’t the most important thing for Martha to be doing at that particular time.
This was her chance in a lifetime to spend time with Jesus that she might not
ever get again.
To
make time with God a priority, you may have to say "no" to some
people that don't want to hear "no" and you may have to cut off some
things that really aren't bearing fruit in your life anymore. But the reward of
growing closer to God will always be greater than the difficulties you
experience to get there.
Luke
18:17 states: “Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.”
Children
don't live their life trying to impress anyone. They are extremely forgiving. Children
are natural believers. They believe in magic and fairytales.
As
adults, we need to start dreaming again. We need to create joy in our own
lives. It's a decision we must choose to make. Don't waste your life sulking
about some unfair thing that happened to you… ages back.
We
need to do what the Bible tells us to give our mind to what we are doing. In
Ecclesiastes 5:1 we learn to -
Guard
your steps when you go to the house of God; to draw near to listen is better
than to offer the sacrifice of fools; for they do not know that they are doing
evil.
Philippians
4:6 says, Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and
petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
If
you want something, ask God for it. If it's right, He'll give it to you. If it's
not, just know He has something better for you in mind.
It
really is that simple! Be childlike in your approach to life.
We
need to try to imitate God to the best we can.
I
fall, but I get up again and again and again!
If we’re all alone then we’re all together too!
With all my Love,
For Love Prevails!AnitA.
All my fears
You cast into the sea,
My life is forever changed,
because you loved me.
This is not just for a moment in time,
‘I choose to love
you’You cast into the sea,
My life is forever changed,
because you loved me.
This is not just for a moment in time,
But forever and ever you are mine.
PRAYER:
Abba, Father, keep me obedient and always faithful. Remember, this your servant.
Mama Mary keep me humble, I pray. Amen.
