Everyday I continue to grow in love for our Lord... Read this prayer slowly, it is beautiful!
DEAR JESUS, help me to spread Thy fragrance everywhere I go. Flood my soul with Thy spirit and love. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly that all my life may only be a radiance of Thine. Shine through me and be so in me that every soul I come in contact with may feel Thy presence in my soul. Let them look up and see no longer me but only Jesus. Stay with me and then I shall begin to shine as you shine, so to shine as to be a light to others.
--Blessed Mother Teresa
I have a longer version of this prayer but it is in my classroom on my desk. Christmas vacation ends officially today. I look forward to seeing my students tomorrow morning. I missed them over the last two weeks!
I have been doing a lot of deep thinking lately. I have been considering staying home next year to devote more of myself to my family and my home. Please pray for me to know where He needs me to be. Where He leads me...I will go. If you have read previous posts, you know that He has led me to the classroom...
So, dear reader and friend, please add me to your prayers.
Also, I have been listening to a set of CDs called, Thirsting for God: The Spiritual Lessons of Mother Teresa. If you get a chance to listen to her lessons, they are life transforming. She is a beautiful role model and teacher.
Peace to You,
Mary
Jesus, I trust in You!
