I said a little prayer that maybe at this crazy time in The Church and the world that I might get my sweet girls at mass after we had shared the most important part of our Sundays - Jesus in Body, Blood and The Word!
He answered and blessed me with the spontaneous gathering of the girls, only missing Birdie on one side with Jesus behind in the tabernacle and Mary just done with serving at mass on the altar!
Then this on the other side - only missing 3 little boys - yes! I have 11 grandsons and only 8 granddaughters. Quite different for me with 4 girls and then my son.
Father Tony blessing the new students and teachers, who are starting back to school tomorrow. Simon, Mary and David all served and are receiving a blessing with the rest of their family including dad, Paul, who is a dean at MN West.
Gus, Berna and Domo getting a blessing as they are heading back to St Max in Delano tomorrow.
Warning... I will probably get obnoxious as I took close to 200 pictures in about an hour! It was hot and humid and there was some sickness and some crabby baby boys and perfectly sweet Birdie Barbara... I was frazzled and exhausted and snappy, but we managed to do this monumental task!
Middle one George with mom Nancy is the oldest, then Hector with mom Maria on the right is 3 weeks younger, and finally Jude with mom Bobbi on the left is 3 weeks younger than Hector.
Dad and I just shared Monday prayers in which he prays by first and middle name for all of his 58 great-grands! These sweet children are "surrounded by a hedge of protection" each Monday by their wonderful great-grandfather!
We also shared the Gospel from Luke 6 where Jesus tells the man with the withered hand to "reach out your hand" and heals him. There are times when Jesus reaches out his hand in the Gospels to heal blindness and illness - leprosy! He is asking us to reach out our hands for healing and to return what we have been given in love and mercy to others - most especially those the closest to us in our domestic Church/family!
Jesus, thank you for the gift of family time and may we stretch out our hands and return the love and forgiveness we have been given. Bless-bless, Barbara
Golden corn and bean fields remind us to pray for the farmers at this crazy time of year and this time where the economy and prices are affected by the world pandemic! Lord, hear our prayer for safety, rain and good prices for our feeding of the world!
So True!!
Imagine you marry your middle school sweetheart, have four children in that marriage and raise four boys in the Lord, attend church regularly, train our children in competition, teach them conservative values and work hard for them to attend Christian, private and public schools....
Only to have a large group of black people called #BlackLivesMatter in black culture call you an Uncle Tom and your family a failure because we refuse to identify with their culture of failure, refuse to kneel and disrespect a flag or support black group think or black idolatry. We are called whitewashed and sellouts for building a legacy of success.
This is what I mean by the black culture of failure and the black community being the only community that degrades itself at the expense of themselves. Their culture glorifies the criminal, the drug dealer, the hiphopper, the porn stars, the godless athlete, the anti Christ movie star, the gay TV host, the looters, and the rioters.
No one is calling them to repentance. Everyone, even their pastors pander to their #MoralRot because it’s big business to allow their culture of failure to continue. From failing schools to failed marriages. Progressives and Liberals are making a lot of money off of their failing culture.
The black culture of failure despises anyone that actually believes in succeeding at the American dream. They despise a family that’s intact. Children that speak proper English. My family is by no means perfect. We fail at times but we take full responsibility for our failures. We also take advantage of the opportunities afforded to us that our anscestors dreamed of. We refuse to be bitter. We refuse associate with dead end movements. Most of all we refuse to be bullied by #BlackLivesMatter to compromise our faith in Jesus Christ and groupthink.
We believe #AllLivesMatter. We believe #JesusMatters. We will only kneel to God and confess Jesus is Lord.
Sincerely,
The Hamptons
