A Beautiful day for Prayer

Today is a beautiful day for prayer.  Not that any day is a bad day for prayer, but today is particularly good.  It isn't hot, the sky is blue,the birds are singing, and there are butterflies.  Butterflies remind me of angels.

My Lord, Mt God, my King, my Savior, my Beloved, it is good to praise you at all times but today it is so easy.  The sunsines and all is right but who knows what tomorrow brings.  Help me Dear  Savior to carry this day in my heart so that I can remember it when my life crowds in on me again and I can't see Your light.  Make my heart steadfast in those times when I feel I am alone so that I remember You are there with me.  Your wind is at my back even when the air is still as long as I go with your will.  There are times like now when I feel You with me, I can almost see You.  In those times when I think I have lost You, You are still there and I am gone.  In the dark of my mind I can't see Your light but if I remember today, I'll know.  I am blind but being blind to the does make the world dark.  

Silly me, how often I forget that closing my eyes doesnt turn off the Light.  I titled my Blog I Believe in Life meaning it to be a prolife blog, and it still is, but I want to expand it some.  I plan to write more about my faith and my struggles with my faith and what it means to my life.  This next year was proclaimed by Pope Benedict to be the Year of Faith and is calling us to share our faith and the reason for our faith.  We should all be prepared to share the reason for our faith with others.  We are going to have to go door to door (thank goodness!) but frankly in having to think about it our faith will be deepened and purified.  Only then can we attract back our brothers and sisters in faith.
