P.U.S.H.

This post is about faith and a little about religion. I'm not preaching and I will likely not speak about it again but I thought this important. My mom is very religious and from when I was born to when I left home we went to church, every Sunday. I moved out and forgot about church. I had kids and church came back into my life. Kids grew up and I left the church, then went back ... but through it all I always had faith. As with many people life seldom turns out the way you want it to. My adult life was not easy ... please don't get me wrong, I have no regrets, I lived each moment the best way I knew how ... I won't bore you with details but I will tell you that for 30 years I prayed, every day for strength, for change, for guidance, for help, for serenity. Every day for 30 years I had faith...and then one day about a year ago that change came, all of a sudden it happened. My life changed, for the better. God heard me and He gave me peace. And I pray everyday that through His grace, my life will continue to be blessed. A few months ago my parish priest was talking about prayer and faith. He said when life is hard PUSH. Want to know what PUSH is?
Pray

Until

Something

Happens
I didn't know that for 30 years I was PUSHing but it worked for me, maybe it will work for you.

I'm right there with you Margaret. It doesn't hurt to turn to God and when I feel He's to busy I talk to St Theresa and tell her if she happens to see God that day to tell Him I still need Him.

I'm glad you found the peace you were seeking. You are always to upbeat it didn't show. - Margy
