C2C reading for today talks about FAITH. It suggests that fears loom large and that Faith takes a great deal of practice. Faith becomes real when we are in a situation and can see no way out that is when we can stop and ask for guidance That is when I see that a miracle can happen and that unexpected help arrives.

Thank you Lu I did find that having Faith did take a great deal of practice. However, as you noted when my back was to the wall and I had no where else to turn, I learned to pray and was pleasantly surprised.
Thank you for your service
Thank you LU for the daily and your service. Thanks to both for your shares and ESH. I too had to practice FAITH and still do at times...I more naturally turn towards my faith than before yet fear still at times enters in and I need this program to remind me of our tools.
This reading and all on faith always reminds me of my lovely aunt who has passed. Anytime, any where any one would begin stressing about events clearly full of fear, she would simply say - If you are worrying, you aren't praying. Her point - faith and fear can't happen at the same time and worry can be replaced with prayer. It does work - just didn't get it for years!!
I hope everyone had a great day - had my morning meeting and then some fellowship today followed by some more fellowship on the phone - and a nap squeezed in! A lovely day with decent weather....just way too much wind!
(((Hugs))) to all!
