"Remove the Stones, Untie Them, Let Them Go!"
To Begin and to End!

Tomorrow another month will begin, as March comes to an end. Marching on, so to speak--time does not stop.
Every second, every minute, every hour of every day--time begins, and then the minute, the hour and day ends.
Our life has a beginning and an end--we do not know the hour or the day our life will end. A conversation, a relationship, our education, ---ALL of life's experiences has a beginning, an end.
Get into the car to go to work, or go on a trip to go anywhere--you journey continues with another beginning and an end. You never know either, if you will come back from work, or that trip---the unexpected can happen at any TIME!
This is why it is so important that we begin every day celebrating the Presence of God! Open that Bible, and get a message from Him to reflect on as the day continues. Pray for all you love, and even those you don't know--pray as you go into the day, and continue along your way. Pray: For you never know the moment, the hour--the day anyone's journey on earth will end. Simple one line prayers. "Help me Lord, stay with me Lord, thank you God"---and so on. BUT Pray the day away and end that day with your prayers too. Perhaps read a Psalm morning, noon and night--Oh there is the Angelus you can say too! Not familiar with the Angelus--Google it! This Prayer is a Powerful reminder of God's love for us, and a reminder to be as Mary--"a handmaiden (or servant) of the Lord--be it done unto me as Your Will."
Live God's Words, obey His Commands and your time on earth will go well and you will prosper and be happy. Love your Lord, your God with all your heart, your whole mind and your whole soul!
Turn away from anything, any activity, any one that would lead you away and stray from His Presence, and His Peace and joy in your life.
Start every beginning, celebrating LIFE! Smile, and be glad! Give thanks and praise as the day continues. Speak GOOD words to all, word you yourself desire to hear from others as the seconds tick by.
Ask yourself, if this is the my last hour on earth, what would I want to be happening? Make sure you tell all you love everyday---"I love you, I am proud of you and I thank God for you in my life. You are awesome!!" Oh, and don't forget---I am sorry I got upset or said something ugly to you."
Time does not stop, and time will end and a new Beginning will come for Jesus will Come again and when He does our old world will end and Eternity will begin. Live in His love, and you wlll then LIVE with Him forever--never concerned about life and time passing by and ANY LIFE coming to an end.
Remember this ALL OF TIME is in God's Hands!! Let us not fear, but live in faith and Trust in God's Love for us.

About the Author
Born the youngest of nine children, raised VERY Catholic across the street from Immaculate Heart of Mary church and school—Mom and Dad led by example and word their FAITH in God and saw to it that I was given 12 years of Catholic Education. (Mount St. Mary’s Academy/1965)
But, most importantly, because of my parents’ spiritual renewal after attending Cursillo Weekends, I too went on a retreat at our beloved Subiaco Abbey in Arkansas and there, at age 20, gave my life totally, surrendering all to my Lord and best Friend. This was my “Pentecostal” event that left me, like all the early Christians, on fire with God’s love and forever changed.
My husband Robert and I have been married for 52 this year in a marriage arranged by God. We have 8 children, two in heaven, 24 grandchildren, and 15 great-grandchildren. The story of our life together can be found in a book titled “My Journey, My Cross-As the Journals End,” published by Westbow Press . Our life together has been one awesome up and down roller coaster ride which enriched my heart with so many of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I have found that the only way, Wisdom, Understanding, Words of Knowledge, Discernment, and Healing can be received is first by experiencing in your life the hurts of others. (and you yourself a sword will pierce)* so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” Luke 2 v 35.
God has blessed me also many other talents and skills--but sometimes, blessings/gifts can and have caused problems or conflict in my life, as I am human and all too quickly that part of me shows up. Thank You God that You also show up!
Because of the many ways that He has rescued me, and taught me through my trials and tribulations and continuous cries for “Help”--- a weekly podcast radio show called “It’s Me, God” can still be found on www.radiotitans.com
