I forget a lot these days. I walk into a room and circle fruitlessly as I try to remember why I entered. I see an old acquaintance, and I have to go through the entire Rolodex (that dates me) in my head to try and pull out the name. I make lists to organize my […]

Things to Remember — GraceSpeak

Matthew 5:1-12

Introduction to the Sermon on the Mount

5 Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, ² and he began to teach them.

The Beatitudes

He said:

¹¹ “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. ¹² Rejoice and be glad,because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

We have many things to thank and bless the Lord for what he’s done for us, in fact so many things than we care to mention . The Beatitudes is one of my favourite pieces of scripture and in the video Basically we we are advised if we are feeling down, in despair or disheartened to  remember to count our blessings and see what God has done

First of all I’d like to apologise for being a little late with this Lockdown issue.

You see it’s all down to Nicola Sturgeon who in case you didn’t know is the first minister for Scotland. On Friday past she eased the lockdown situation here in Scotland so that upto eight family members could meet outside, still social distancing.

As the weather has been brilliant here (sun splitting the trees) so to speak, well there was no stopping us visiting our family who also live in the same town.

There was also an ease on a couple of sports, Golf, Outdoor tennis and Fishing.

I hate to add although the above are the official guidelines, with the weather being the way it is some people were breaking the guidelines by going to the beach etc.

So the easing of the lockdown has begun in Scotland has begun and what will be the next step for Scotland.

Search me, O God, and know my heart, try me, and know my thoughts; and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm 139:23-24 Father, Give me grace and courage to walk with You today, to recognize right and uphold it, and to avoid the evil […]

Monday Morning Prayer — GraceSpeak

George Floyd. Victim of the police brutality in Minneapolis, Minnesota this past Monday, after a cop kneeled on his neck. This disgusting demonstration of evil leaves us questioning where to go from here, and how to fix a deeply broken system. #catholic #christianity

Say His Name — BeautyBeyondBones

Good Morning Father, Thank You for legs that walk, eyes that see, and hands that work. Thank You for the sun that is slowly rising on a new day. Thank You for rest in the night. I confess that I am troubled as I walk through the maze of this world. I am bombarded by […]

Good Morning! — GraceSpeak

We had this beagle named Freckles. Freckles was a great dog. She nurtured kittens and visited neighbors. She played with growing toddlers and searched out lost bunnies. She nuzzled her way into the heart of our family. But Freckles’ great love was trailing. She would periodically escape the confines of the yard and take off […]
