| Quote for the Day: If only mortals would learn how great it is to possess divine grace, how beautiful, how noble, how precious. How many riches it hides within itself, how many joys and delights! " St. Rose of Lima |
Thursday
This evening I am almost in "Book Heaven." The heaven part is that I got several new books to read and they look great and I love to read. The "almost" part is that its hard to find "time" to read. Sigh. But never fear, I do find little minutes tucked in here and there and get my reading done. When one is addicted to reading like I am .. one always finds a way.
Sometimes I have been resorted to having to read the toothpaste tube or the underside of the kleenex box.... but I do find things to read wherever I am.
But today was an amazing day. Today was the day I could bring my mom to the monastery for a couple of hours and to have dinner with us. We sat outside on the swing and enjoyed the beautiful day. I think I talked about this the last time we did this... but its such a blessing. Even in the monastery sometimes we don't slow down enough to just sit and stare at the beauty God provides for us!
And it was amazing... it was hard.. but I didn't even take a book with me to read!
Blessings of Peace and All Good,
Sister Patricia
