HEAVENLY DEPOSIT

                                 " I am so old  that I may now die at any time" - Genesis 2:7
    outside one of the chapels during a wake, I saw paper maches of a house, car and yacht.
"what' s that for ?"  I asked my Chinese husband. He explained that the Chinese believe that by burning these, they were sending them ahead for the deceased. that way, they d have a huge house, cars and boats to use in the next life.

         I just laughed. " You can' t take anything out of this world with you when you die," I said . My Husband grinned, " if  he's Chinese, he'll find a way."
       My husband was right. There is a way to send earthly wealth in advance to heaven. But not in the way he was talking about.
        When we 're generous to others, when we give our tithes to the Lord, when we support minitries, we are using our money to build God's kingdom on earth.
         Friends, let's use our earthly wealth in such a way that when we reach our heavenly home, a huge mansion awaits us.

Reflection: Do you have eternal life insurance?

Jesus ,may I use the riches You've entrusted to me to help buid Your kingdom on this earth. Amen

A prayer about the FUTURE.

A prayer about the Future. When I wonder why God  doesn't show me more of the future. O LORD, Thank you that you reveal just enough of the future to give me hope. (You tell me that, since I am believer, my future in heaven will be more wonderful than I can imagine.) Thank you that  you reveal just enough of the future to encourage me to obey. (To receive your reward s in the future requires my obedience in the present.) Thank you that you reveal just enough of the future to increase my dependence on you. (Since you alone know everything about the future, I must rely on you to lead me there.) Moving forward with just a glimpse of what's ahead is the essence of what it means to live by faith.Perhaps knowing more details about the future would be too much for me to take in, so I will walk with you  step at a time, staying within the light of your presence and trusting where you lead. You guide me with your counsel,  leading me to a glorious destiny. Psalm 73:24 How

LESS IS MORE

HE MUST INCREASE; I MUST DECREASE.- John 3:30      Since 2013, I've been choosing one word that serves as my "guiding word" for the whole year. I also pray for my "One Verse" to accompany my "One Word."       In 2015, my 'ONE WORD" was "LESS," with John 3:30 as my "ONE VERSE," I knew that God wanted me to focus more on " being " and less on "doing", as Jeses encouraged  Martha in Luke 10: 38-42: " You re anxious and worried in many things. There is need of only one things. Mary has choosen the better part and it will not be taken from her."  I also  knew  that He wanted me to serve Him more, for His greater glory.        Little did I know that God would use the imperfect, broken me in a mighty way that year. Even before the first quarter ended, I was invited as a speaker in an online internat ional conference for Catholic moms and to be the host of the online show on Bukal.Tv! truly, He wo
