Monthly Challenge Comments

"Be a gift to others" I picked up this expression from this month challenge. Yes, we must help others and be present whenever they are in need. During this Advent season I can say that, presents are giving, and we are receiving presents that is perfect, but we know it is not the only meaning of this period. So many great ideas are given in this challenge to really celebrate this season and please Our Lord being really a gift to each one of us.  Thanks for this beautiful challenge.

Reading the challenge this month helps us understand our time. The time I am living now may not be the same as yours but as faithful servants of the Lord, it is good to share, good time, bad time and even the time we cannot define and our community will live better. Praise the Lord as it said in the challenge.

We are not alone the Love of God is upon each one of us, the Holy Spirit shows us when to rejoice and live all the times.

Thanks for the challenge

I am sure the writer has done, lots of research to present King David. Starting with his physique, his aptitude, his ability and more.    I know all statues painted on the image of David presented him very attractive.  Besides all this,   David,  in his young age,  took good care of his father’s sheep.   God has preserved him, and he is succeeded in several circumstances.  He had made errors, but he had courage to repent and asked for forgiveness -psalm 51- He is traditionally the author of the book of psalms.  I thank the writer of this reflection for all its content and for the great prayer.  Despite our shortcomings, our mistakes, like David, if we repent, we will obtain forgiveness and the Lord will have mercy on us.

Reading this challenge helps understand more the benefit of prayer.  Through this challenge we will gain more patience.  So many of us are anxious as their petitions are not answered yet.  This challenge helps us accept the answer of the Lord as He knows better what is good for us.  This is where faith and trust have their role.  They will help understand the answer of the Lord.  Thanks for the challenge and thanks for the lyrics of this great song that I love so much.
