God's Plan!

Are you familiar with the saying, "If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans." There is a lot of truth in that because God knows what is best for us and it is in Him that we put our faith and trust. This comes to mind as we think about the blog from Monday where we cannot predict the future or the end of the world. Only God knows the day and the hour. However, there are some things that we can think about. These following items come from the Saint Anthony Messenger Press, the 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, Nov. 14, 2010: 1) Life is hard - even for disciples; 2) What matters most is not following my Plan A exactly but rather following God's plan generously; 3) The Holy Spirit helps us to follow God's plan. Jesus calls each of us to be his disciples and he tells us to pick up our cross and follow him. Our Lord did not tell us what crosses we would have to carry in life but he assures us that he is with us at all times. Let us continue to pray for one another and encourage one another in our journey of life and faith as we follow the plan that God has for us. God Bless You!!!
