Still Anticipating at 65

Advent is such a beautiful season.  It is time for renewal, it is especially a time for forgiveness, because brings this forgiveness o us in the shape of his Son.  ~~Catherine de Hueck Doherty

On this the occasion of my 65th birthday, I just want to say that Advent is a wonderful time to be born.  My whole life has been one of anticipation.  And no season says it better than Advent!!!

Thanks be to God!!!

Savior Within

He wants to be in you; he wants his breath to be your breath, his heart in your heart, and his soul  in your soul.

This is my fervent desire.  That I carry his Spirit with me always.

Words of Encouragement

"When I am incapable of praying, I want to keep telling Jesus that I love him. It's not difficult, and it keeps the fire burning"
~~Saint Therese of Lisieux~~

On this the feast day of dear Saint Therese I find these words most encouraging!!!

Thanks be to God!
