"Astonishing Love"

   
"The worst thing the world ever did
was to kill God...
...and He used it as an opportunity
to save us!"

Father Joel
Annunciation of the Lord

** A Blessed and Beautiful Easter to all **

"Beauty Itself"

For love of us...

...He died.

"There is Joy in the Tent"

   
After Mass, in the gathering space at Annunciation of the Lord,
 Therese immediately saw the beauty of The Nativity.
As she sat on her knees observing the
wonders of the scene she softly declared,
 "There is Joy in the Tent!"
I will never hear a more perfect or
more profound description of the
Holy Family at Christmas!

"The Baptism of Anna Rose"

..."Out of the believer's heart

shall flow rivers of living water."

Anna Rose Aldridge

Welcome to sweet Anna Rose who decided to
arrive just in time! Mommy and gigi
had plans of our own and
Anna was in complete compliance.
She made her appearance the morning
after I arrived in Pensacola at 9:01 AM on
Thursday, August 24, 2017.
Anna is our tenth baby grand which gives
us five precious girls made of sugar and spice and
everything nice
and five precious boys made of
snakes and snails and puppy dog tails!
She is the thirty-second great-grandchild for
Nanny and Papa!

*****

Anna, Kate has prayed for a little sister and you

are the sweet answer to her prayer! May God always hold

you in his everlasting hands!
