You never leave us. You know us better than we know ourselves. You bring us to places so that we can grow, and You embrace us when we bring ourselves to places that may not have been what You desired for us, but just like a strong Daddy and a gentle Mommy, you guide us to where we need to go and do not give up on us when we stray, again, and again, and again. Thank you. Thank you for being the balm for our tired souls, our lonely hearts, our sad moments that you weave into the tapestry of Divine Providence and tell yes, "I love you. When the world lurks in your presence and calls you names, they did that and much more to Me, and I told my Father, 'Father, forgive them, for they know
not what they do.'" You were, you are completely compassionate. We celebrate you. Daily, we must. You bless our lives. You clarify every moment for us, even if we do not see it now or never will be able to on this earth. You whisper in our ears words of faith and encouragement, and we step forward, with You. Only with You will we ever be able to go forward.
On Divine Mercy Sunday, we laid ourselves before You and our family enjoyed the fruits of Your Goodness as we enjoyed our apple tart, Arnaldo's ice cream, and
Fr. Phillip Tells a Ghost Story, one of many of our favorite
Precious Life Books by the amazing Andrews Sisters.
The sweet part of the night was hearing each of our treasures singing a decade of the Divine Mercy. And today, Nellie, in her 2 1/2-year old voice was singing your Divine Mercy again.
