"Weeping may linger for the night, but joy comes with the morning." ~Psalm 30:5 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. We can constantly live in preparation for something better to come. All of life can be a preparation for something better. We can anticipate the morning to come. We can feel, in the night of sorrow, that understanding joy that tells of confident expectation of better things to come. "Weeping may linger for the night, but joy comes with the morning." We can know that God has something better in store for us, as long as we are making ourselves ready for it. Our life in this world can be a training for a better life to come. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that when life is over, I may enjoy eternal life with God. I pray that I may make this life a preparation for a better life to come. .=: 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 :=.
