**Power of Transformatin
Communion experience. I accept the Lord and treasure him, and know that he's going to transform me.
***Best Response to God
Since it's impossible for me to match what God has done for me, I just gratefully accept it with all my heart. Accepting our heavenly Father's love and becoming obedient to him is all he expects from us.
**Journey to Freedom*
What is he key to freedom? Of course, the best answer is total abandonment to God or total trust in God. But specifically, there's another small key that can really help, that is, forgiving others always. The makes a good start before you to reach total abandonment.
****Taking Care of God First
We deal with problems in life constantly. Right now, I face an internet problem. After I improved the network, my printer stopped working. And the irrigation control unit for watering the yards is giving me trouble. I see people dealing with all kinds of problems nonstop. It becomes all the more important to take care of God first. We absolutely need to spend time communicating with the Lord daily, For me, going to Mass to receive him daily is essential. Without God, everything in life can easily fall apart. By the way, when I thought of all the problems before Mass started at church this morning, I felt the Lord asking me what if I were going to die today, would I still let those problems bother me? This is good to remember.

***Letting Sins Make You Holy
Use sins to your advantage. Every time you sin, repent and ask the Lord to take it away. Then be determined not to sin again. Think of your sins as stepping stones that you lead you to God. The farther you travel, the faster you go as you let the Lord make the journey easier for you. All in all, a most exciting journey. It's fitting to make the last part of your life the best part.
**Be Clean and Kind
People usually remember bad news more than good news. So do not tell any dirty joke to anyone, for it can stay with the listener all his life. I wouldn't tease anyone harshly either. It may be fun for you, but it can hurt a sensitive soul.
***Love Most Attractive
The more you remain in the Lord, you more you want to remain in him. Such is the drawing power of love.
***Christ Is Real!
Communion time feeling. Christ became real and familiar to me more than ever. I felt in my heart and soul as if he's someone I had already seen, met, and been with for a long time. Such peace and joy!
*Are You Worthy?*
The more we realize God's awesome holiness, the more we realize how unworthy we are. If you still think that you are a very worthy person, then you really have no idea how holy God is yet.
