Prayers for a JOYfilled Christmas & New Year!

Merry Christmas (from the past)

2014 Advent & Christmas was spent in and out of the hospital as we were faced with many challenges.  My family was stretched and refine.  It was one of my most difficult periods but I wouldn’t trade it — it was a gift!  I learned how to better live in the moment and to truly grasp that I must live as though this were my last hour.  Deo gratias!

Here is the Christmas Card I would have sent had I not been in the operating room for an emergency surgery on Christmas Day.

Word of the Year ~ 2016

December 31, 2015 by Lena {JOYfilledfamily} Filed Under: Motto, New Year, Word of the Year Leave a Comment

It’s been almost a full year since I visited you here.  My family had a year of rest and healing from an arduous year in 2014.  I hope to reflect on that period someday.  For now I’ll continue to put one foot in front of the other and pray for the grace to persevere.

I have many goals for myself this year.  Many of which will have me return to my old rhythm of living and a handful that will carry me to new places.  I trust that He will lead the way.

Last year I made very little movement in any direction.  I remained right where He put me and prayerfully reflected on the crosses that He blessed me with in 2014.  That meant that I did not adopt a new word for 2015.  My moto remained imprinted on my heart.

JOYfilledfamily moto of the yearBe Charitable. love others, especially family, the way He loves you.

Be Useful. serve always.

Be Gentle. have the loving heart, tongue and hand of Mary.

Be Joyful. stay rooted in the true JOY – JESUS.  share the JOY with all.

Forget about yourself. die to self, live for God alone.

Pray. speak to God often and cover everything in prayer.

NOW! offer prompt obedience to God’s will for you.

ALL FOR…Jesus through Mary with the intercession of St. Joseph.

I will be adopting a Word of the Year again for 2016.  The word was picked to help keep me focused as I reestablish a rhythm in my home.  The word is ORDER.  May I begin with God and may I end with God!
