“Blessing is at the end of the road. And that which is at the end of the road influences everything that takes place along the road. The end shapes the means. As Catherine of Siena said, ‘All the way to heaven is heaven.’ A joyful end requires a joyful means.”

My prayer this week: God, you know me inside and out. You know my coming and my going — when I rise and when I rest. Please fill me with joy on this journey with you, and help me experience your best so that I can minister to others. Let your joy, peace, and love in my own heart overflow to those around me!
