Joke for today.

Redemption does not erase the difficult chapters. It reveals that failure, pain, and brokenness do not get the final word when grace enters the story.

“If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come.” — 2 Corinthians 5:17.

A Joke for today!
I've sure gotten old !
I have outlived my feet and my teeth.
I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement,
New knees, fought prostate cancer and diabetes.
I'm half blind.
Can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine.
Take 40 different medications that
make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts.
Have bouts with dementia.
Have poor circulation;
Hardly feel my hands and feet anymore.
Can't remember if I'm 85 or 92.
Have lost all my friends.
But, thank God,
I still have my driver's license.

Thank You, God, for everything. 🤍🙏🏻

What feels little in your hands can become more than enough in God’s hands.

Give it. Surrender it. Trust Him to multiply it. 🤍🙏🏻

Verse of the Day

Habakkuk 3:17-18
Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior.

Saint of the Day for September 6

Blessed Claudio Granzotto
(August 23, 1900 – August 15, 1947)

Blessed Claudio Granzotto’s Story
Born in Santa Lucia del Piave near Venice, Claudio was the youngest of nine children and was accustomed to hard work in the fields. At the age of 9, he lost his father. Six years later, he was drafted into the Italian army, where he served more than three years.

Blessed Claudio Granzotto’s artistic abilities, especially in sculpture, led to studies at Venice’s Academy of Fine Arts, which awarded him a diploma with the highest marks in 1929. Even then he was especially interested in religious art. When Claudio entered the Friars Minor four years later, his parish priest wrote, “The Order is receiving not only an artist but a saint.” Prayer, charity to the poor, and artistic work characterized his life which was cut short by a brain tumor. He died on the feast of the Assumption, August 15, 1947, and was beatified in 1994.

Blessed Claudio Granzotto’s liturgical feast is celebrated on March 23.

Reflection
Claudio developed into such an excellent sculptor that his work still turns people toward God. No stranger to adversity, he met every obstacle courageously, reflecting the generosity, faith, and joy that he learned from Francis of Assisi.
