...I have just discovered if you go look at stuff, then come back to your post - poof and aargh! it's gone and you have to begin anew.
...Yup, definitely a long day today. It'll still be Thursday for another 17 minutes or so.
...Friday, September 21st is the Feast of St. Matthew, and Pembroke Diocese is going to be receiving a brand-new Bishop - Bishop Michael Mulhall. God Willing, we are going to St.Columbkille's Cathedral in Pembroke in the morning to watch his ordination and installation as our new Bishop. It will be the first time my husband and I will have seen this.
...My husband got up at his usual time this morning, about 4:20am. He usually makes a pot of coffee, then begins his day with prayer (& coffee). Today I actually got up around 5:10am, and joined him for prayer, after our usual hug &kiss & blessing with St.Joseph's Oil. This morning, we got to pray part of the Rosary together. Yay!
...After my husband left for his trek to the city (5:45am), I decided to start my work-day at home, too. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I had at some unknown time worked on the PST which is due on the 23rd. So I worked on bookkeeping amidst breakfast which consisted of toasted, buttered home-made bread from yesterday, poached eggs and tea. Mmm, nutritious brekkie! [I know that you aren't supposed to work whilst eating, oops].
...As usual when I get busy, I lost track of time and looked up at the clock to see that it was 10:00am! Our shop opens at 10:30am. Now our shop, JMJ Gifts is in our home - which is a wonderful & fantastic dream-come-true for me.
...A very long time ago (well, actually only 6 1/2 years ago), when we went to PEI for our honeymoon, I had a wonderful vision of our own home, with a big sign hung over the fence "Rosaries and Handcrafts." We tried to do this in Pakenham, but of course, we didn't own our own home there, we only rented and it didn't work out. But one day in September 2005, when I walked down to the Mississippi River below the Five Arches bridge (Pakenham) to do some sketching, these words came to mind so I wrote them down: "Courage, My child - everything will be done for you by ME, your Loving Father." (I did the sketch in oil pastels and gave a copy to my husband Mike for our 5th anniversary). So we have waited and Our LORD has made it come to pass. Hurray for Our Loving Father!
The LORD give you Peace!
