Staying Close to God allows us to stay grounded and balanced in this topsy-turvy world! He provides the Graces we need to effectively navigate the hills and valleys of life-He is ALWAYS by our side-our constant Guide and Companion! We must pray, work and suffer heroically-to do ALL things in and for our Lord, giving thanks to God our Father! It is not about quantity but quality! It is not the time we spend in prayer, work or suffering but the focus of our prayer, work, or suffering! We must do ordinary frustrations, annoyances,resentments and difficulties in an extraordinary way! Offer them up for the Love and Glory of God! Don't run from or avoid difficulties, embrace them asking God for the Grace, Strength and Courage to bear them WELL"! He WILL see us Through! His Will not ours be done! Love and prayers! ✝️
