2023 November Faith Journey Inspirations

Posted on by Karin
Do you ever think about heaven?

As we head into November, the feasts of All Saints and All Souls are a great reminder that we are just passing through this life…and we have a heavenly destination! On your journey, God has a specific mission for you and he wants you to experience joy, love, and peace every step of the way.

Here are 10 inspirations to help you to keep your eyes on Heaven:

________________________________________________________________

Inspiration from Mother Teresa!

“Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you.”

God wants you to dream!

Remembering that we are just passing through this world brings clarity to our lives. If you only had one year left to live, what would you spend the next year doing? What would you stop doing?

Virtue in focus…

Charity is seeing people as God does and treating them with the love and respect they deserve. How does it make you feel when you treat someone with charity? Who in your life is God calling you to be more charitable to?

A burst of wisdom.

What’s the best way to live?

Did you know……

There are 8 easy ways to give your favorite charity without spending any money.

For the young and young at heart…

What would you do if Jesus came to visit your house?

For those who want to make a legendary impact…

“The Good Samaritan is legendary. He is a world-wide icon of goodness…His heart was gently inclined toward the needs of others. Is your heart inclined toward the needs of others? Or is it leaning away from others?” –Matthew Kelly, Holy Moments
