I left Philadelphia so many years ago wanting to never look back - and now I think I may appreciate the city life - the accents, the row homes, the congested active bustle.
Here is a quote from Set Your Heart Free - my little book on daily meditations from the writings if St. Francis de Sales.
"Because anxiety is the enemy of peace,
it cannot come from God.
It is an enemy of the spirit.
Treat anxiety like the temptation it is.
Fight it.
Send it on its way.
Whatever you must do,
whether it is
defending yourself against temptation
or welcoming joy,
do it peacefully,
without anxiety.
You cannot keep your peace by losing it."
So, let me got to Philadelphia with patience and joy in my heart - looking for the purpose God has set out for me.
