WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT

Our Sweet Sister Loretto is holding my devotional:

The Blessedness of Believing

A Devotional Journey of Life's Lessons and God's Promises.

This devotional gift was given to Sister Loretto during our visit with her in May 2009.

As God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

Colossians 3:12

It was quite a blessing to receive an email from my Oblate Sister friend: Sister Lorraine. Her note blessed my soul, and motivated me to continue on my inspirational literary journey! I thought why not share? I pray you'll be further encouraged in your anointing to learn and support endeavors that glorify God and take you beyond your customary circles. The Oblate Sisters of Providence are indeed in service for our Lord Jesus Christ and doing extrordinary work! I am thankful for their example of loving service.

"Hi Linda,

Excuse my delay in getting in touch with you.
Since you left, Sr. Constance and I have been very busy with the events that come with the season of Spring. Many groups have come to use our
facilities for their activities. Sister and I help with the preparation
and the clean up. So, this time of the year is extremely busy. I am
letting you know this because I do not want you to think I have forgotten
you. Your presence as you touch other people is not a forgotten one and it demand joyful remembrance. ( smile.)

I view your blog and all that you wrote about the Oblate Sisters. Thank you for your time and kindness in doing that. I like your blog very much. Keep expressing the Spirit of Christ's living in your writing. It is a ministry so needed.

Sr. Loretto is doing fine.

Peace and many
Prayers,

Sister Lorraine

Wonderful women of God!

Sister Lorraine and Sister Constance

So you see my friends, the words that we speak, the words that spill out of our hearts, the words we convey to each other and write are divinely purposed to build us up and encourage us to be vigilant in our ministries. Keep spreading those exuberant words of encouragement!

Marveling at God's Goodness,
