Lots of time with her Uncle Johnnie, who is her Godfather, too!!!
There is a white out blizzard going on outside... Reading the Gospel today where the Disciples are on the boat in the dark with a strong wind blowing describes the wind whipping up the falling snow to no visibility... At least we have power! We too have storms in our lives with each day, and we look for the Lord and wonder why he is not with us... he comes!
A nice long bathtime with the tub to herself and Uncle Johnnie and grandma watching over her... the tub all to herself with makeshift bath toys out of cottage cheese container and cup! Beach theme bathroom on the farm and in the midst of a blizzard in April!
Who needs a swimming pool and nice weather to use it?
"When they had rowed about three or four miles,
they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat,
and they began to be afraid.
But he said to them, "It is I. Do not be afraid."
They wanted to take him into the boat,
but the boat immediately arrived at the shore
to which they were heading." John 6 continues!!!
When I think of John 6... I recall that it begins with the feeding of the 5,000 and then I know that we get to The Eucharistic chapters where he tells about him being our Body and Blood, and how we are called to eat HIM!!! To find this story next is a special surprise in the midst of an actual storm all around me!
Soon your blanket will be in the dryer and ready for nap time as long as the power doesn't go out!
She currently is snuggled in grandma's bed watching Trolls on Netflix, with a kitty snuggling with her, and eating Gold fish crackers. Cat and little girl are happy to be spoiled... inside away from the storm!
"It is I. Do not be afraid." Jesus to us in the dark and the winds of life! He comes to us and guides and directs our lives down the path he has chosen for us! Just ask John about finding Faith through cancer, me about the plan for my family... 7 in heaven and 5 here with me that value ALL LIFE as a result, grandson Patrick about being born dead and coming back to life, my husband farmer about keeping his 150 cows and calves alive and healthy as they face storm after storm in this wintry spring...

A snuggly day with grandma and Uncle/Godfather Johnnie.. soon blankey will be dry and clean...
Snuggle day in the storm... I can only imagine the craziness over at the farm waiting out the storm with a house full.
Jesus, how we love you and how you care for us according to your plan for each one of us! May we love and serve you by loving all we meet most especially those the closest to us in our domestic Church/family. Jesus, we trust in you. Amen and Hallelujah
Snow caked window...lilacs about to open on my Easter tree in the house!
Lilacs about to open in front of Our Lady/Immaculate heart of Mary as I reflect upon her...Saturdays are devoted to Mary, and I am longing for a quiet rosary time while little Jo Jo is taking her nap with her nice clean warm blanket out of the dryer in an hour or so! Snow days are special too! Bless-bless, Barbara Mary Luke

"Today I am sending you with My mercy to the people of the whole world. I do not want to punish aching mankind, but I desire to heal it, hugging it to My Merciful Heart (...) before the Day of Justice I am sending the Day of Mercy” - (Diary, 1588).
“I have opened My Heart as a living fountain of mercy. Let all souls draw life from it. Let them approach this sea of mercy with great trust. Sinners will attain justification, and the just will be strengthened in goodness” - (Diary, 1520).
