that will come<\/em> after him. Ecclesiastes 7:13-14<\/p>\nWE must accept good and bad things that come in our life from the Lord..both are designed to bring us closer to Him.<\/p>\n
Glory to God in the highest and earth peace good will among men.<\/p>\n

\nAnd a man who has found wisdom\u2014how blessed he is! But there is no one greater than a man who fears the Lord. The fear of the Lord is more important than anything. To what will it be compared?\u00a0 – Book of Sirach 25:2-11<\/p>\n
IF we know God and His commandments we want to keep them but often are drawn away by sin.\u00a0 \u00a0Fear of the Lord helps us think twice.<\/p>\n
Rejoice in the Lord always and again I say rejoice.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Thursday\u00a0 of the Fifth Week of Lent<\/p>\n
Rejoice, O young man, in your youth,
\nAnd let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth;
\nWalk in the\u00a0 ways of your heart,
\nAnd in the sight of your eyes;
\nBut know that for all these
\nGod will bring you into judgment.
\n10\u00a0<\/sup>Therefore remove\u00a0 sorrow from your heart,
\nAnd put away evil from your flesh,
\nFor childhood and\u00a0 youth are<\/em> vanity. – Ecclesiastes 11:9-10<\/p>\nTHE concept here is that we are free to do what we want, even bad things.\u00a0 But we must also realize that eventually God will allow judgement to come to correct us.<\/p>\n
Give thanks to the Lord for He is good and His mercy endures forever.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Friday\u00a0\u00a0 of the Fifth Week of Lent<\/p>\n
Let the kindness of giving be shown In the presence of all the living, And do not withhold kindness from the dead. Do not withdraw yourself from those who weep, And mourn with those who mourn. Do not hesitate to visit a sick man, For by such visits you will be loved. With all your words, remember the time you will die, And you will never sin. \u2013 Book of Sirach 7:33-36<\/p>\n
KINDNESS for the dead is praying for them.<\/p>\n
Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me!<\/p>\n
Saturday\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 of the Fifth Week of Lent<\/p>\n
I know that nothing is<\/em> better for them than to rejoice, and to do good in their lives, 13\u00a0<\/sup>and also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor\u2014it is<\/em> the gift of God.<\/p>\n14\u00a0<\/sup>I know that whatever God does,
\nIt shall be forever.
\nNothing can be added to it,
\nAnd nothing taken from it.
\nGod does it,<\/em> that men should fear before Him.
\n15\u00a0<\/sup>That which is has already been,
\nAnd what is to be has already been;
\nAnd God requires an account of what is past. – Ecclesiastes 3:12-15<\/p>\nNEVER forget that all good things come from the Lord.\u00a0 Always give thanks.<\/p>\n
