BIBLICAL POINT OF REFERENCE:

"We know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose."

~Romans 8:28

Happy Thursday everyone! I thought it would be a good idea to list some ways that we can keep God with us, even when we don't realize it. Here are the best small ways to include God in your day: 1. Sleep with a clutching cross, crucifix, or rosary. I used to be really scared at night because of the dark and of course the monsters that I believed hid in my closet, but that all changed once I started sleeping with a clutching cross. This way, I had God to protect me from anything that could have happened through the night. I am not ashamed to say I still sleep with a clutching cross today!

2. Listen to Christian music. A lot of Christian music is very upbeat and peppy, so when you're not doing anything or walking somewhere, put some on! It's a great way to get happy quickly!

3. Wear a scapular or other religious jewelry. Scapulars are composed of two pieces of cloth that are connected by some form of narrow strip of material. Many Catholics and Christians wear them around their necks as a form of protection: one piece of cloth hangs in the front, while the other hangs in the back, providing protection both in front and behind of you! If you don't want to wear a scapular, wear a crucifix or even a religious ring to keep God close to your heart.

4. Carry a rosary around with you wherever you go. To put it simply, a rosary can always come in handy, and having that extra one with you is a great excuse to pray whenever!

5. Write small notes to God in a journal. They don't have to be lengthy or about anything of great importance, just use a small journal to give God an update on how you're doing that day! Your Laughing Sister, Callahan
