| Quote for the Day: First keep the peace within yourself, then you can also bring peace to others. Thomas a Kempis |
Saturday is a special day called ... The Spirit of Assisi....First started by Pope John Paul II and continued by Franciscans (and hopefully others) It is a day to think of Peace, pray for Peace and hopefully to find Peace.
Today I brought my mom over for dinner. It was a beautiful fall day, blue sky and everything golden and bright and sunny. (I wish we could share this day with the suffering people in California.) At any rate I was glad to be able to get my mom and take her for a little drive and spend time with her. The only problem was... someone came to visit me in the parlor (sort of a prayer emergency) and I ended up spending all my time there...and not with my mom. Thankfully the sisters all treat my mom as their mom too so she was well taken care of!
I did get back in time to eat dinner with her. Whew. Then I took her home and bought her some "comfort food" - a half gallon of vanilla and chocolate ice-cream to put in her freezer. Nice to have a treat when you want don't you know. A little ice-cream is about the only thing she eats in her room since all her meals are in the dining room.
In January my mom will be 90. She is really doing wonderfully well... a bit of dementia... but I rather live with that myself.. so I can handle that.
Blessings of Peace, Joy and all Good,
Sister Patricia
