Hanging In There

One must admit when things occur in life that causes changes it prompts us to reflect. Recently I have been watching the television about the tornadoes that came through our area, seeing the devastation and the help that people are receiving. It's wonderful, the help that is, not the devastation.

Being without Internet for a few days had made an inpact in my own personal reflection because I began to read more than I did before. I think this time it brought home more than reflection but more on change in my own life itself. I also had a visitor that I do an hour of Adoration with, she brought me a book on food for fighting cancer since she also has a family member herself who is undergoing her own battle but with a different type. Henrietta also goes to many prayer and healing services for her family. She brought with her the glove that belonged to Padre Pio. She prayed over me several times already for healing. I appreciated that very much.

Henrietta stopped by on Saturday evening and brought over the Holy Spirit Novena to do. I thought that was wonderful. Sometimes it takes illness and things to happen for us to see how much people really do care. That was part of the reflections I was undergoing, was seeing that no matter how difficult my life may have been, there are people out there that care and would like to see healing occur and life to get back on track.

More than anything I would love to do so much more and give in many different ways. Being more open about my own personal encounter with the Eucharist. Sharing God's love even more to others. If this is what God asks of me, then who am I to deny him. Maybe that is why this illness was given in the first place to open myself even more deeply of his love for me. To take these moments and allow myself to see him through others as well. Even when I try not to worry about the financial part, I must learn to trust in that department as well as trusting him with my life and the healing that will come in time.

His love is great and so is his mercy. I have noticed that my blood sugar has been so much better as well throughout this time, I think that is wonderful and I thank God for giving me this time to correct some needed correction.

A Work In Progress

After receiving emails with beautiful PowerPoint slide shows, I finally learned how to put one together. It's a work in progress with the pictures of the Eucharist, so far it's in the early stages. I just put some of the pictures and now it's placing them in chronological order. I did get to time them, there is no writing nor music yet. I didn't realize how much work and time it takes to put it all together. But the end result will be magnificent.

It's been a day of letting go too, I sent two pictures off to two people who belong to the Dominican chapter I belong to. They requested the one they wanted, unfortunately, I needed to obtain some ink in order to print them up. Off they went today to bring, hopefully, comfort and joy to their hearts. I placed one on the header of this blog and my other one, two different pictures of the Eucharist that God has given to me. I'm beginning to think it is almost time to show them. I know showing them was hard at the beginning, and time allowed me to learn as well as grow. A wonderful progress for sure.



The small garden that I planted is coming along nicely but the weeding is slow going. One would think they have a life of their own and want to grow just as much. There are some pole beans as well as bush beans, zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes, green peppers, butternut squash, acorn squash and turnip. A very small garden with only a few of each. I think the most is two rows of string beans. All the rain we had enabled the seeds to sprout and flourish, climbing the pole already. God is so good.

I was surprised by a phone call today from Angel. I hadn't spoke to him since over a year ago. It was odd, since Saturday evening I had recently mentioned him in a conversation with Father Plasse about a mountain we had gone to one day. Amazing how God brings people into our lives. He said the most amazing thing to me, that I was a light that shone bright and I had touched his life. I'm just thankful that God touched mine so I could touch others. It's all for Him and through Him.
