Make a list of 7 ways you can show honor and glory to God.
Better yet, make 30.
Then spend the next 30 days making a point to do one of these things.
It can be as simple as spending 5 minutes in silence giving God your undivided attention or more complicated such as doing some spring cleaning and getting rid of some of the excess in your life.
You decide how you will live out the Gospel in the coming days.

There are “early birds” and “night owls”, regardless of which category you fall into, spend time thinking in detail about the way God/Jesus/Holy Spirit is revealed to you in the morning during the time before and after sunrise AND in the evening before and after sunset.
When you do so, be sure to give credit to each person in the Trinity for revealing themselves to you by giving honor and thanks!

Blessed Trinity
You created me out of love.
You came to be one with me and You remain still.
You are the beginning and the end.
May I stay mindful of all you are and all you give!

O Blessed Spirit,
When I feel alone,
You are there.
When I am surrounded by darkness,
You bring light.
When I am weak,
You are my strength.
You are my guide to stay on the path of life,
which leads to heaven.
Fill my soul, dwell in me, FOREVER!

When you think about the “Glory of God”, what do you imagine?
When you hear the words, “Glory of God”, how do you feel?
What words do you use to describe the “Glory of God”?
These words invoke emotion; they hold power to those who believe.
Identify the people in your life (and in the world) whom these words “Glory of God” have no significant meaning.
Spend time this week considering what you can do or say to bring God’s Glory into their lives.

Mark 8:24 "and the man looked up and said, "I can see people but they look like trees, walking". A reminder of how even though our vision is not 20/20 we can see with our heart!

I see but I cannot see.
Holy Spirit come…open my eyes!
I hear but I cannot hear.
Holy Spirit come…open my ears!
I feel but I cannot feel.
Holy Spirit come…open my heart!
AMEN
