Paul said that he was returning the favor of snapping a picture of me with my namesake before mass started on this snowy 2nd Sunday of Lent. I appreciate to have this with my sweet baby girl, who is so good in mass as we share our Faith as a family - my most favorite thing in the world.
Her adoring grandpa loves to hold little girls! She likes to see our whole face and pulls the mask out of the way. This mask thing is getting old and seems so strange and unneeded when you are surrounded by your family and away from any others.
After the snowstorm overnight there were only a few of us at the early mass. What a difference from yesterday when the yard was muddy and most of the snow gone... now there is a fresh beautiful blanket of about 4 inches!
Where are you under there, grandpa?
Rose again - Birdie did pull down her mask but grandma wasn't quick enough. There is never a shortage of little ones for the older cousins to hold and cuddle and play with. LOVE!
Rose thought Birdie looked like a cute baby Shrek with her two pony tails - one on both sides of her head. It was good for a laugh before mass started.
Thanks Paul... Grandpa usually has the babies in his arms, but sometimes grandma does too. Sunday is when I see the Truth of the sign for LIFE on the way down HWY 7 - REAL MEN LOVE BABIES. I love how my husband has always loved the babies and been open to LIFE and raising LIGHTS!
Jude says "Hi!" to his patron Saint - St Thaddeus/Jude in the gathering space at the back of church! It is so wonderful that we have the Saints with us on our journeys in life! We have to much help as we pray to them, and know of their persevering in following Jesus to the point of being declared Saints in The Church - with our spiritual Mother of heaven and earth, Mary the Queen of Saints!
David blesses our food - we decided that with the snowy roads and the Camp Foley drive through lunch where Ruth and Paul had to work with Dave... that we should gather in town at John and Bobbi's home. How we love to share laughter, and a great meal with family after sharing our Faith in receiving Jesus in His Word, Body and Blood!
Fr Denny had mass today. I loved his homily and so wished that I had taken notes. He spoke about how in the Gospel today that God tells us of his amazing Son and that we need to recognize Him in all the Sacraments of The Church .
Then a cloud came, casting a shadow over them;
from the cloud came a voice,
“This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.” Mark 9
Father reminded us that in Baptism we become sons and daughters of God and are invited into heaven with his family, and the Eucharist we are given the strength we need to live following Jesus in all that we do. Each Sacrament is there to reveal Jesus to us as The Son of God, and our Salvation!
It was so good to hear from Fr Denny that he is feeling well, and back serving his parish as a representative of Christ Jesus. It brings such a smile on my face to have our friend, who means to much to us over the years now living in our town and serving in our beloved Holy Redeemer. A special gift to us and how I love to pray for him on each Friday with 7 Sisters. My day to pray an hour for Fr Denny and all that he does to bring Christ to us!
Whipped cream has now joined our Sunday brunch either to put on top of parfaits or straight into the mouths of Jude and others.
Birdie at the head of the table with the bright snow world outside. It is supposed to be 50 degrees in a week! There will be mud for the beginning of calving but at least it will not be snow. Many prayers for a good calving season.
The piano, which was in our farmhouse until Christmas is now a hit in John and Bobbi's home
Wearing Birdie's apron - we now have an official Verly girl!
Snowy Sunday and Luke
Rose out to water the ducks... one is missing in the snow.
It's pretty and deep and hard to believe that in a few days it could be gone again...
This was yesterday - now snowcovered! Bless-bless, Barbara
