One vote, "Loved it". (Dad)

One vote, "Liked it". (LDC)

One vote, "Tried it".  (Me)

Lord make me an instrument of your peace

LDC was the only one (on a beautiful Saturday morning) to bring a guinea pig to the rectory lawn.

Lots of dogs and cats.

A turtle.

A bearded dragon lizard.

All awaiting a blessing and a sprinkle of holy water.

Singing

Brownie, patiently waiting his turn.

"In one famous story, Francis preached to hundreds of birds about being thankful to God for their wonderful clothes, for their independence, and for God's care. The story tells us the birds stood still as he walked among him, only flying off when he said they could leave."

St. Francis of Assisi

"Should I wear my new purse?"

"What about my sunglasses?"

If these are the problem questions of the day...

Life is G-O-O-D.

LDC,

Happy 11th.

Life is not good but AMAZING.  

Why?  

Because of y-o-u.

 “In the summer, the days were long, stretching into each other. Out of school, everything was on pause and yet happening at the same time, this collection of weeks when anything was possible.”
