7QTF: Best part of the day!


JMJ
God Love You!

The best part of my day, is definitely not the waking up part. I guess it would have to be when all the family is home and we are just sitting on the carpet, talking. I love that time of day. Although, there is something just so beautiful about the quiet prayer time, that time of surrender and solitude to Our Lord - not to shabby!

I finished, I finished and yes I finished the Mighty Mujer Triathlon - thanks be to God! Plus, I wasn't last so that was a plus. It was so much fun and all the women and volunteers were just wonderful to be around. They write your age on one leg and I was amazed at some 50+ and even a 60+ woman. Get up and move those bodies, I tell ya!.


So grateful for my babies!

BB: Why did you make me go through the back door? (at school)
Me: Because I didn't know you weren't supposed to go through that door to get to school.
BB: But why?
Me: I'm sorry munchkin, tell your teacher it will not happen again!

BBC: BB: Mommy, I saw BBC's hummingbird!

NCC: Attack of the allergies has started! Plus, he is such a fan of my hair in ponytails, he laughs each time I flick him with it - it's too much!

The best part of this dog's day is just plain awesome!

I tried to understand this controversial theory, The Holographic Universe, it was a little (okay a lot) over my head but it is such an interesting take. What are your thoughts on that Infinite I?

MAM: Happy Birthday ed!

JMJ

God Love You!

Today is her birthday, so let's wish her many blessings on her birthday!

As you know, I am so grateful for the fact that she has let herself be used as God's instrument. Then I published this post and not until today did I realized that I had already shared that video before, so sorry. My mind is very very forgetful.

Please enjoy this one, though - that deals with Hope.


ADios!

7QT Fridays: The Miraculous Chapel and a triathlon!


JMJ

We went to visit the Loretto Chapel and, yes - that staircase is miraculous. Thanks be to God!

I am running Mighty Mujer Triathlon and feeling so under-prepared. My goal is to finish. If you can, say a quick prayer that my bike doesn't get a flat.

BB: Dad, that's a poo-poo color.
Dad: Yes, that is a poo-poo color (looking at my olive cardigan).
BB: No, dad your shirt is a poo-poo color.
Me: HAHAHA!

BBC: We hung a Rosary with his initials at the Loretto Chapel.

NCC: Has started clapping!

Sugar, the bitter truth - it's a really good video on how sugar may be evil!

MAM: Signs, do you see them?

God Love You!

JMJ

Oh my, I know - I've been gone from the blog yet once again. It's partly due to the fact that I don't have endless amount of energy and we don't live in a 32-hour a day type of world. Could you imagine, I may even have time to think - or dare I say, even write.

So Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!

Easter.

One word, so much meaning! So much love, my heart is filled with joy. Hallelujah!

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter as well and boy do I have a video for you. I really hope you watch this one. I wish I could just hug Mother Angelica, I'm so grateful to God for her.

In this show she talks about the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and how to read Scripture. She delves into one of her favorite passages and reminds us that these men, these Apostles, were exceedingly imperfect men. That gives me hope!

She also doesn't sugar coat life. Life is hard. It really stinks sometimes, many times and the crosses we carry can blind us to the point that we don't see God standing right next to us. We don't see the love that He has surrounded us with.

The love is there, though and she reminds us of that. She reminds us of how truly miraculous the Eucharist is, the gift that it truly is.

She takes a call about heartbroken people missing their loved ones and how Jesus is waiting for you,
Jesus is courting you.

I hope you watch this show, it's that good!

ADios!

A Dios!
