Sunday Thoughts....Second Sunday of Advent


Good morning my friends. Today we mark the second Sunday of Advent by lighting the PEACE candle. There are other names for this week's candle, but i decided to focus on PEACE.

It has been a difficult week with my dad, but we are all thankful for his improvement and  the very kind man from Senior Helpers, Norm, who came to help our family set up some extra care for my dad. I am so thankful for my husband. Talk about a Godly man with a wonderful attitude. I know he is doing this for my dad, but also for me. I am glad that the extra help is arriving tomorrow, as my Jimmy is getting tired. We have seen a great deal of progress with dad. We are hopeful that with extra care, wrapping his foot, more physical therapy and a visit from occupational therapy, we might be able to keep him in his apartment longer. We continue to pray for him and will see where things go.

PEACE seems to be missing in our world today. We live in a difficult time, but we are reminded that Christ is the PRINCE OF PEACE. How we need Him and His teachings.

The other thing that really hit me this week was INNER PEACE....where do you find your inner PEACE, you inner strength to  handle living in this world? I know I would be lost without my Lord, without the prayers of friends. I know my friend's thoughts and prayers have held me up and gotten me through the week.

I am asking my Lord to grand me peace of mind  and acceptance as things progress and unfold.

Blessings to you this week as you we all prepare for Christmas. Many thanks for those who are praying for dad and our family.

Praying for your dad and your family.
Just knowing my Lord is in complete control of each and every thing in my life, gives me inter peace! I am His!

Awww Linda, bless you and your hubby as you care for your Dad. Pray also for God's mercy, which I have learned is "relieving someone from a heart of misery." Don't we all fit into that category in some fashion? We can all be an agent of mercy, too, which you are doing.
Happy Advent to you!

Hi Linda. I'm with you on my source for inner peace----straight to the Father.

May He bless both your Dad AND Jimmy. And you, too, my friend! Susan
