The Book of Sirach Ch Six v- Six thru Eight

6 Let those who are friendly to you be many, but one in a thousand your confidant. 7 When you gain friends, gain them through testing, and do not be quick to trust them. 8 For there are friends when it suits them, but they will not be around in time of trouble.

How many friends do you really have? Can you count them on one hand the ones you really trust with the deepest of desires, thoughts or secrets? I must say that my song today resonates having a Soul-Mate in Christ. The one in a thousand you trust with the inner recesses of your soul seeking to live as One in our Lord. This should be your one in a thousand confidant the only other you become intertwined with. Amen. Her name is Toni or Tonita to those who love her most and she loves the Lord with all her heart and soul. She cries out to God upon waking and closes her eyes saying His Name. “Beloved of my soul. Let me know your will.” So give it a listen and hear my soul cry, As God as my witness the mate of my soul unites me in Christ our only way to life. Amen.

Soul-Mates in Christ

In the depths of my soul, a flame ignites,

A love so pure, shining so bright.

For in Christ Jesus, we find our way,

Bound by His grace, every single day.

Oh, soul-mate divine, in Jesus we unite,

Through every storm, we'll hold on tight.

A friend like no other, tested and true,

Soul-Mates in Christ, our love will renew.

Through trials and troubles, we'll never sway,

Our faith in Him will guide our way.

A love that's unbreakable, built on His truth,

In Christ Jesus, our love finds its roots.

Oh, soul-mate divine, in Jesus we unite,

Through every storm, we'll hold on tight.

A friend like no other, tested and true,

Soul-Mates in Christ, our love will renew.

When darkness surrounds us, we'll stand strong,

For in Christ Jesus, we truly belong.

Hand in hand, we'll face every test,

Knowing His love will bring us a peaceful rest.

One in a thousand, a rare gift we've found,

A bond in Christ Jesus, forever profound.

In times of trouble, we'll lean on His grace,

Knowing His presence will never erase.

Oh, soul-mate divine, in Jesus we unite,

Through every storm, we'll hold on tight.

A friend like no other, tested and true,

Soul-Mates in Christ, our love will renew.

In Christ Jesus, our love will endure,

A love so strong, forever pure.

United as one, in His loving embrace,

We'll walk together, soul-mates of His grace. Amen.

Join me as we pray our daily prayer of forgiveness. The Lord’s Prayer.

At the Savior's command and formed by divine teaching, we dare to say:

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil, graciously grant peace in our days, that, by the help of your mercy, we may be always free from sin and safe from all distress, as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now and for ever. Amen.

I am sorry Lord. I believe You died and rose for me. Please forgive me as I forgive others. I share You as my Lord and Savior seeking to live your Will in all things. Prayers for wife Toni and my mother Betty pray for our children especially our two oldest Alexandra & Allen Son in Law Mark Stern; Julian, Gabriel and Jeffrey and our grandchildren Oliver, Julian and Elliott. We pray for those we’ve said we’d pray for and those who’ve asked us to pray for them. We pray for the dying as we do each day Lord give them peace in their last breath. We pray for Holy Mother Church. Our prayers for a little boy named David Alexander. Praise God thank You Jesus. In Jesus Precious Blood by His Name we pray. Amen.

12-24-2023 Sirach 6 v-0608

**In trouble they disappear**

May many friends be your company

Yet one confidant out of a thousand

Friends gain testing their conviction accompany

Them trust not quick lest you rouse them

When friends are there for selfish benefits

Them not suited for every affair

In trouble they disappear with much prejudice

Leaving you in the dark without a care

May many friends be your company
Yet one confidant out of a thousand your dare
Friends gain testing their conviction accompany
Them trust not quick what you share
When friends are there for selfish benefits
Them not suited for every affair
In trouble they disappear with much prejudice
Leaving you in the dark without a care
