St. Joseph was a good listener…
What does a listener do…
…hears what others have to say
…trusts in what one hears
…take to heart what you hear
…lets people have their opinions
…opens ones heart to differences
…keeps a silence that respects
…affirms the speaker by being attentive
Practice listening … without forming judgements
Practice listening… especially when you pray.
For my Sunshine Chat today I’ll be reading a parable from my book Heart to Heart Parables called The Lonely Star’s Journey of Faith. Hope you enjoy it!
Say you will have an Alleluia smile watching this.
Celebrate the gifts that God has given to you. Daily Miracles of goodness dusting our world.
Sing an Easter time song filled with surprising moments
…to re-energize your spirit
…to re-establish your connectedness to nature
…to re-new your faith with prayer in your heart
…to re-claim what you felt was lost
…to re-store a good balance of harmony in each day
…to re-veal by your actions Jesus love in the world
…to re-lease any negative thoughts
…to re-adjust life so it includes charity for all
In striving and that is all one has to do… strive to be your best.
Then get up everyday and
…rejoice
…resurrect
…be a Risen Vessel of God’s Love.
This is the Year of St.Joseph. Each week there will be some St. Joseph thoughts for you. He is often pictured with lilies.
Signs of Spring
Signs of Resurrection
Signs of Comfort
Signs of Acceptance
Think of this as you see a lily. St. Joseph… humble sign of new life. Walk with us in the ordinary that praises God.
