Thus says the LORD:
This is what I commanded my people:
Listen to my voice;
then I will be your God and you shall be my people.
Walk in all the ways that I command you,
so that you may prosper.
Jer7:23
For Today's Complete Readings go to USCCB
Make time for yourself to sit and pray.
Listen to God's voice.
In Today's Gospel Jesus tells us; Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste. Our Purpose as parents is to raise our children to know their heavenly Father and to serve Him with their whole hearts, minds, souls, and bodies. If we are trying to do this without pausing to listen to God's voice on at least a daily bases...we will be divided. I like to think of it in terms of my relationship with my husband. I Love Michael, so I call him often to hear how his day is going and to tell him about mine. I call to ask for advice, I call to just say hi, and tell him I love him, and I call him to tell him what the kids are up to. I should be doing at least that much with my God. He can always be with me, in those challenging parenting moments, the joyful moments, the restless moments, and everything in between. God, myself, and my husband need to be all on the same page when it comes to raising our children. If not, things wont go well...
Jesus I want to hear your voice today, I will quite myself, though I can not exactly quite my surrounding, to be present to your will. Amen
