When we allow God's Love to infuse and permeate our entire being-heart, mind and soul we will Rejoice In the Lord Always! We are then open to be led by the Holy Spirit as we graft ourselves onto the life of our Lord! This occurs even during the difficulties, trials, tribulations and sufferings we may endure! These times are opportunities and a means of keeping us in close union with God! In suffering we recognize our NEED of our Heavenly Fathers Healing Love! Suffering detaches us from the frivolous and mundane in our life and keeps our focus on "things above" and in touch with our Lord! "The merit of crosses does not consist in their weight, but in the manner in which they are borne...."! May we ALWAYS bear them well in the light of God's Grace and Strength! Love and prayers! ✝️
