Old prayer brings back HOPE

Found this prayer in one of my old beat up prayer books and remembered it was and still continues to be a favorite of mine, I hope it inspires someone else out there. I will return with freebies when I am able to do so, as for right now I am preparing the way......

Just for Today.......
Lord, for tomorrow and its needs I do not pray; keep me, my God, from stain of sin, just for today.
Let me both diligently work and duly pray; let me be kind in word and deed, just for today.
Let me be slow to do my will, promp to obey; help me to mortify my flesh, just for today.
Let me no wrong or idle word unthinking say; set a seal upon my lips, just for today.
Let me in Season, Lord, be grave, in season gay; let me be faithful to Your grace, just for today.
And if today my tide of life should ebb away, give me Your Sacraments divine, sweet Lord, today.
So for tomorrow and its needs, I do not pray; but keep me, guide me, love me, Lord, just for today.
Amen!

Have a wonderful and blessed day!

Making a wish

Wow where did the last 19 years go???? My eldest is turning 19 tomorrow and is super excited about her birthday this year.... I keep hearing all the plans that she has made with all her friends for her birthday and I keep wondering-- where oh where did the time go!!!! I had to ask her if I was even going to see her on her birthday because all her plans didn't seem to include the person who carried and bore her.... can you tell I'm not liking the growing up thing? Oh my baby wants to fly and yet I want to keep her wings clipped..... Oh how I wish how I wish I could have the same relationship that we had when she was little and didn't want to be without me.... but I know it's not reality and I have to just suck it up and move onto a different journey with her.
So in celebration of my daughters birthday and my wishing she would never grow up I decided to go back into my birthday things that I made last month and pull this one out since I didn't do it last month. I pray that you all have a blessed Advent season and a wonderful Christmas too.... (just in case I don't manange to get on here before then).

As always I ask that you send your friends to snag their own. Just click the preview to go to my 4shared to download.

Here's you goodie....




Have a wonderful and blessed day!
