John and his dad are enjoying the light of the advent wreath as they talk, and watch TV. He came home tonight for a few weeks here with his old mom and pop... the old feeling of comfort settles in as we are feeling the joyful family closeness we had over our year battle against John's brain cancer. How we love to have our son with us! He seems to be happy with his first semester of seminary, although the academics are challanging for him. At supper he shared with us his paper he wrote on the Book of Ruth, and he really made me smile when he talked about the fact that Ruth had been a convert to the Jewish faith, and that she became a model of a faithfilled and excited-for-the-faith convert. That is what I am and how I love my Catholic Faith!!! I also loved the name Ruth, and named my oldest daughter that name. And now I have an even better reason for loving it!!! Thank you, John!
The sunset tonight was another gift!! Thank you, Lord! So wonderful to have our family growing to include our children and their spouses and children. Nancy and her family will arrive tomorrow and we will gather with Ruth and Paul and family for pizza night at their house! I will fit in work here and there over the next few days and will be still have the JOY of the last Sunday of Advent and then CHRISTMAS! JOY, JOY , and JOY! Jesus, we trust in you. Bless-bless, Barb
