Alter server

Last year, Tealyn received her first Holy Communion

She was very excited because for years she has watched the alter servers from the first pew very carefully with such admiration. 

And at the end of every mass on our way home she would ask the same question

"When can I be an Alter Server"?

                                                                                 

         And of course, our reply Sunday after Sunday was always the same

                                              

" Once you make your Holy Communion "

Then one Sunday, she saw a good friend serving her eyes lid up to see her and immediately asked me to ask her mother. I called her the next day and she gave me all the details, told us there would be a Saturday morning class. She was super excited to attend. 

They gave her a schedule and she started serving immediately. 

We are so proud of her commitment to serve . She looks forward to the Sundays when she is scheduled and makes sure we leave the house 30 min before to be there on time. She fills us in on all the details while driving home and tells us she can't wait till the next time.

God is good

  

   

                               

 

Happy New Year

Hello its me

 Remember me?

I know, I know 

 its been a while 

Okay, 

a long while

 

and so, this year as my

NEW YEAR RESOLUTION 

I vow to commit more time blogging and less time on other sites

We rang in the New year much like Lucy did in bed by midnight . We had plans for a family party, but they fell through after the host got a case of Covid.  Tealyn ended up going down the street with a friend and her family and popped fire works. She was home early enough to be in bed by midnight. 

Whoop
Whoop

Even though, I absolutely loved how I decorated this tree

I took down a little earlier this year. I wanted a fresh clean, no clutter , organized home. It happens every year right after Christmas, I get into a wave of decluttering and I want to organize everything in sight. I feel my mind calm and at peace and instantly focused when there is less stuff. 

I love this little reindeer I inherited from my mother in law. I remember it in her entrance table at her home every Christmas. Its funny how little things like a reindeer on a table can bring back so many wonderful memories, yet we take it for granted all those years thinking life will never change. I put this little reindeer in my book cabinet and every time I pass it, I can still visualize it sitting in a large oversized white bowl full of holly right before entering the family room. I want to always remember that for as long as I can.

Happy New Year!!
