SIGNS THAT POINT THE WAY HOME

SIGNS THAT POINT THE WAY HOME The CHRISTIAN life can Be difficult-PUZZLING to say The least HOW are we supposed to Keep LIVING a life of love- A life of forgiveness- A life of KINDNESS When some people Keep treating us with meanness- With indifference-without sensitivity- And NOT CARING one bit Whether it offends us or not? Our leader Jesus-did it-and as His followers We are SUPPOSED to do it too “Your ways-O Lord Make known to me: TEACH ME your paths” Psalm 25:4 Fortunately for us-we have SIGNS That point the way-and EXAMPLES We have the CHURCH every Sunday- At least-every day-IF we so choose Plus we have the LIVES Of the saints And holy Scripture SIGNS that point The way to God Signs that point the WAY To living a CHRISTIAN LIFE “In ALL your ways Submit to him And he will make Your paths straight” Proverbs 3:6 David said: “You have made KNOWN to me The PATHS of life You will fill me With JOY in your presence” Acts 2:28 ONE thing for sure WHEN we are FOLLOWING The paths and signs of God We are NEVER alone But there are QUESTIONS That come up as we TRAVEL through this world How do we know WHICH way to turn? How do we KNOW Which decision-way- Is the right way? Which way do we go WHEN we come To the FORK in the road? We are never alone IF we follow the signs POSTED by God Got to MASS or church service EVERY DAY READ the Scriptures daily FOLLOW Christ's example And the LIVES of the saints He-they-FACED every problem- Every temptation that we do FOLLOW the signs Follow the road That LEAD you/me/us back to God “THEREFORE the Lord himself WILL give you a sign The virgin will conceive And give BIRTH to a son And will call him IMMANUEL” Isaiah 7:14 “THIS will be a SIGN To you: You will find a BABY Wrapped in clothes-lying in a manger” Luke 2:12 Dear Lord-this world IS a confusing place We PRAY- That you HELP US SEE the signs-that lead us To LIVE a truly CHRISTIAN LIFE And BRING US HOME to you Robert P.
