MARY LOOKED UPWARD                                                              

Mary looked back and saw a surprise,  
A life unexpected, before her eyes.  
The angel came with news divine,  
That she’d bear a Savior, by God’s design.  

Mary looked inward and joyfully cried,  
“Great things for me, God has supplied.”  
Through every challenge and joyful stride, 
God’s surprises filled her with pride.  

Mary looked forward, her faith so strong,  
Raising Jesus, where she belonged.  
Through life, death, and resurrection’s grace,  
She nurtured God’s love, His gentle embrace. 

Mary looked upward, with a faith so pure,  
Connected with God, her path was secure.  
Giving God her address, her soul to find,  
In trust and love, her heart was aligned.  

God said to Mary, “Work with Me, 
As instruments of love, we’ll be.”  
Let us, like Mary, in faith and trust,  
Work with God, as instruments of the just.  

By Medard Laz

God says to YOU what God said to Mary, “Work with Me, as instruments of love, we’ll be.”

I AM NOT IN CONTROL, BUT, LIKE MARY, I AM DEEPLY LOVED BY THE ONE WHO IS!

I’m having a full right knee replacement today. I’d appreciate an extra prayer or two sent my way. Thank you……
