Living rosary at school for the month of Mary! David's class led the rosary and David had a "Hail Mary" in the circle. It is rare to see Joy unhappy... maybe she had just been napping or something, and she has a cold these days, too!
So sweet and good looking... a miniature Paul. A very special occasion honoring Our Lady in her month of May! May crowning! My day has disappeared and both parents are napping now.. my rosary is calling out to me, and I will keep this short today!
My dad newly back home after a sudden admission to the Veteran's hospital for kidney issues. Today has been a lot of nerves and anxiety as we adjust to a new tube and with both parents under the weather... there is a lot of saying;"we can do this!"
I was able to do morning prayer with my dad a bit, and that is so huge for our family to know of my parent's prayers for all of us! They are expecting their 50th grandchild on Monday! We are over 220 now in our huge extended family so much prayers needed and depended upon by all! Reading the Gospel today - Jesus said to his disciples:
"This is my commandment: love one another as I love you.
No one has greater love than this,
to lay down one's life for one's friends." John 15
That LOVE is relayed to our families by prayer without ceasing! And dying to self so that the Holy Spirit can work through us! Dad and I just discussed that this morning, that our goal in life is to allow the Holy Spirit to work through us and help us get to heaven forever with Jesus, Mary and the Saints!
It has been quite the day today with a visiting nurse here to help us answer many questions and to be there whenever needed by mom and dad. There is a lot of peace knowing that they are there for us. We were in crisis mode just before she arrived and suddenly we had a breakthrough and both dad and I gave he credit to prayers. That is our go too around here, and in all phases of our lives!
Beautiful statue of Mary and wonderful flowers under the altar to give her the honor we hold in our hearts during this month of May and really always. It is just special to lift her up specially during May and October.
Jesus above all!!!
Jesus, we are looking to you this shaky day of adjusting to the new normal! Thank you for giving us the support of others with more knowledge of the ins and outs. For the words of comfort and encouraging us to relax and not get overly obsessed with what we think might be right or wrong. We place my parents in your hands and know that you are in charge and we trust in you. Jesus, we trust in you. Amen and Hallelujah
Always look to your Mother of heaven earth... as John says; "Mom there is a better mother than you." "Yes! I so agree John!" "Hail Mary, full of grace!!!" Bless bless, Barbara Mary Luke
Snowbanks a short time ago and now daffodils! LOVE!
