“Only You”

Last summer I walked out to the shop to see Dad. 

As it turned out he was listening to his favorite music and 

invited me to dance. It was the sweetest surprise 

and will always be a treasured moment/memory for me, 

dancing with my precious dad to "Only You" while he sang along. 

You never know what blessings our

 loving God has in store for you each and every day.

I love you, Dad <3

"Astonishing Love"

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

For love of us...

"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!
