Marriage Moments

"When one finds a worthy wife [husband] their value is far

beyond pearls [money]." (Proverbs 31:10) Although this scrip-

ture traditionally refers to wives, it works equally well for husbands.

Pause for a moment and ponder the worth of your beloved.

Parenting Pointers Once Thanksgiving is over, let the shopping begin! Or must

it? The Friday after Thanksgiving is often called Black Fri-

day - the day stores start to make a profit. Buying gifts isn't inherent-

ly bad, but giving an experience is often more memorable. Why not

stay home and play a game.

thor of those gifts, the One who is the Author of life itself. If

you think God might be calling you to use your gifts as a

Collection 11/18 & 11/19

In the United States, one in six people lives in poverty. With

this collection you support programs that address the causes

of poverty and provide a sustainable future for those who are

struggling across the country. In addition, 25 percent of funds

collected remains in our diocese to fund local anti-poverty

projects. Please prayerfully consider how you can support this

collection and work on the margins. More information about

the Catholic Campaign for Human Development can be found

at www.usccb.org/cchd/collection.

November 19, 2017 We are reminded this week of the responsibility we have

to utilize the gifts we are given. Each one of us has been

blessed with gifts from the Lord. Are you utilizing these gifts to their

full potential? We are reminded that when we embrace these gifts,

and utilize them, they will flourish. How are you utilizing your gifts

for God’s glory? Take a moment to reflect on the skills and talents

you have? How can these gifts be utilized for the Church? Do you

have a beautiful voice, consider joining the choir? Skilled at teach-

ing, catechists are always needed to teach religious education. Do

not let your gifts and talents be wasted, embrace them and utilize

them for the glory of God.
