Hello everyone , I am back from a 1 week getaway. The opportunity arose for my wife and a couple of my kids to get away so,  off we went. Where we went did not have internet access. It was a cabin on a lake in NH. Very simple ,quaint and peaceful.

It was great and eventually all my children were there together with us for a day. It is what life is all about. 🙂

This experience though was a quick reminder of the fact that like I had written not too long ago in my blog we take our minds, worries,doubts etc with us. I had a lot of time to think. And the devil loves to discourage us all.  That is why prayer and remaining positive are so important. I went with my bible, book of prayers for every need, my rosary and they did have a dvd for our use so my Divine Mercy Chaplet was with me too.

I am doing well but while I was out and about during my vacation  I would stop for bench breaks as my wife and kids were in and out of shops, taking pictures etc. As I sat there in this beautiful environment with the smells, sights and surroundings. It seemed like everyone  around me looked so normal and I felt so handicapped, like I have found and said before life for all of us can be a minute by minute struggle. Fortunately, I am pretty much at peace  by the grace of God with my situation but we all have these moments. And, that’s okay because that is how life is. I was talking to a young man today as a matter of fact that has a lot of pressure on him. I think he is around 19 or 20. All kinds of fears,doubts and insecurities about what to do and how he is going to get where he wants to go.  A very understandable situation given his age. I expressed to him that he needs to keep  himself in conversation with God, he knows his future. You need to know him and trust I said.. You see it is a life intersection that he currently finds himself in. I am 52 and I am currently at another transitional intersection. I told this young man like me It requires him to stay on course and to try to ” live right” as my papa F would say. If we follow God’s commandments and pray we will come out the other side of our dilema with God’s answer. God always wants the very best for us all but we need to put our effort into the process. I assured him that it would fine, and you know what? he belived me. You see, I do not have the physical ability to do heavy lifting and thats okay. Gods going to use me where I am at in order to help this young man and lift him up on his way through life. At least in this moment. God’s doing all of the heavy lifting. According to our personal psalms #139 ,we spoke today so God knew we would be there at that very point in time 🙂 It is a beautiful thing.  Pretty Cool.  By the way while I was helping him, God healed me and I had a corrected state of mind it felt normal once again. It is in giving that we truely receive.

God Bless you.
