As servants of God, live as free people, yet do not use your freedom as a pretext for evil. Honor everyone." ~1 Peter 2:15-17 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. Each new days brings an opportunity to do some little thing that will help to make a better world, that will bring God's kingdom a little nearer to being realized on earth. We can take each day's happenings as opportunities for something we can do for God. In that spirit, a blessing will attend all that we do. When we offer this day's service to God, we are sharing in God's work. We do not have to do great things. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that today I may do the next thing, the unselfish thing, the loving thing. I pray that I may be content with doing small things as long as they are right. .=: S C R I P T U R E S A N D S A I N T O F T H E D A Y := Scriptures: http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/ Saint of the Day: http://www.americancatholic.org/Features/SaintofDay/ .=: W E P R A Y :=.
