We were blessed with another beautiful day! Wahoo!!! I was able to do a few little preparatory things for the garden. Tomorrow, I'm hoping to throw some pulverized egg shells on a few of the beds. I really wish I could get a hold of a week worth of a restaurant's coffee grounds to toss where I plan to have tomato plants this year. One day I'll find a restaurant that will do that... one day. They say that ya gotta have dreams or all you have are nightmares. So, that is my dream - used coffee grounds. It was never said that ya gotta have big dreams. Although, in truth, I do want a lot of coffee grounds. ;o)
Today's First Reading is Daniel 3:25, 34-43
In the fire Azariah stood up and prayed aloud:
For your name's sake, do not deliver us up forever, or make void your covenant.
Do not take away your mercy from us, for the sake of Abraham, your beloved, Isaac your servant, and Israel your holy one,
To whom you promised to multiply their offspring like the stars of heaven, or the sand on the shore of the sea.
For we are reduced, O Lord, beyond any other nation, brought low everywhere in the world this day because of our sins.
We have in our day no prince, prophet, or leader, no holocaust, sacrifice, oblation, or incense, no place to offer first fruits, to find favor with you.
But with contrite heart and humble spirit let us be received;
As though it were holocausts of rams and bullocks, or thousands of fat lambs, So let our sacrifice be in your presence today as we follow you unreservedly; for those who trust in you cannot be put to shame.
And now we follow you with our whole heart, we fear you and we pray to you.
Do not let us be put to shame, but deal with us in your kindness and great mercy.
Deliver us by your wonders, and bring glory to your name, O Lord
Isn't that beautiful? So much bigger than any dream. Peace.
