So I couldn't let this once in a lifetime date get by me without posting.

I had such wonderful plans for a daily post or at least regular posts as I journeyed through the year of faith reading and trying to understand the spirit of Vatican II. Apparently God had other plans for these days that involves children, husband, laundry, meal preparation, cleaning, doctor appointments, family activites, and commitments at Resurrection. I have peace with that as I begin to trust God as my daily guide. He must increase I must decrease!

 

Advent has begun with the nightly lighting of the candles and the countdown prayer chain. We also continue with our nightly scripture readings following the Church using The Word Among Us. I am so grateful for the seasons of the Catholic Church and the richness it brings to our lives. Today we celebrated the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe with chicken enchiladas and cinnamon crispas. One of the biggest blessings to our family has been that we have been able to enjoy dinner as a family on a daily basis. When I look back on these years I know that will rank up at the top of fond memories for all of us.  I have tried to make a conscious effort to keep our lives as slow paced as possible so we can enter into the spirit of preparing for Christ's coming during Advent.
