Restful Sunday

Today has been a beautiful Sunday. My husband and I were the Lectors this morning at Mass and that is always a special way to serve our Lord. We went to Hartmann Hall afterwards for coffee and doughnuts and enjoy the opportunity to visit with fellow parishoner. A special part of the day was talking to my daughter who is ready to have her first baby and to see if there is any hint if it could be today. I am so excited to see and hold this little one. Such a beautiful gift for our family. I spent time reading a book and falling asleep between chapters. (Its not that it isn't a good read, its just that I woke up too early and needed a little shuteye.) I was able to skype my family that doesn't live here and that is a great way to see and talk to my grandchildren! If you don't use Skype, I highly reccommend it. Isn't it great what modern technology does so we can keep in touch with loved ones! However, to keep in touch with our God, we don't need anything modern. We only need the discipline of taking time to pray. He waits longingly and patiently for us to come to Him.
Dear Lord, I thank you for the blessings of this restful day! Thank you for my husband and I ask you to bless his birthday tomorrow. Thank you that I can come to you so simply and you hear me. Bless all who read my posts on this blog!
