GoD And DoG by WJ Francisco

Just had to share this. It was sent to me by Emily and I cannot thank her enough for this. It is so tender. Please enjoy!

This will be a busy weekend as Wes, Annie and the girls will be here for Kellie's Confirmation on Sunday. It is so exciting to celebrate your oldest granddaughter's special day!

Wishing you all a grand and glorious weekend!

Thanks be to God!

When I was awakened in th middle of the night because I couldn't find my feet, this poem came to mind.

Sam's on the bed
Duchess is on the floor
The breeze is blowing
Cool and fair.

The pitter pat of rain
Can be heard on pane
The cat and the dog
Unconcerned.

Oh, what a wonderful life! Wishing you all a grand day!

Thanks be to God!

Last night I was brought to humility again. Yes, my pride got in the way and I tripped over it.

I was a meeting of the team for Christ Renews His Parish. The meeting was nearly over. We had gone over the menu, discussed timing and for some unknown reason (Known only to God) I reread the letter I had posted on Sunday to those who would be participating. I had patted myself on the back for doing it so well, and I was so pleased with myself that I just had to boast about it earlier. Well, imagine my chagrin when I read the dates and they were incorrect!!!!!

Everyone was so kind, understanding, really compassionate. I was sooooo HUMILIATED!!!! Yes, a lesson to be learned again!!! I have been grounded. And God is good. It isn't something that cannot be fixed. The new letters are ready and will be posted this morning on my way to work!!!!!

To all on the committee I wish to say!!!! Thank you for your love and understanding!!! Even today's quote was meant for me. God is GOOD!
