Happy Valentine's Day 2011

"Joy is the echo of God’s life in us."

Abbot Coumba Marmion

Love is the echo of God's life in us...

Joy is the echo of God's life in us...

Peace is the echo of God's life in us...

Patience is the echo of God's life in us...

Kindness is the echo of God's life in us...

Generosity is the echo of God's life in us...

Faithfulness is the echo of God's life in us...

Gentleness is the echo of God's life in us...

Self Control is the echo of God's life in us...

May our day "echo" Jesus' life and love through us with the Spirit of Jesus. May Jesus enliven our Valentine's Day even in the midst of sorrow or loss. May Galatians 5:22-23 direct this day and every day.

Morning devotions have become a precious time for Lois and me. We have chosen to listen to Our Daily Bread online to start our devotions. It is a time of quiet and listening to the spoken Word in the devotion for the day.

Then we pray. Prayers for so many in need of healing and help that only the Spirit of Jesus can touch are lifted up. Prayers of thanksgiving and praise for what God has and is doing in us in this new season of our lives.

A quote that continues to come to us is "Joy is the echo of God's Life in you".
Joy fills our lives each day as we pray and listen to God's Word.
We give thanks each day for health and healing being poured over us through the Spirit of Jesus.
