Blessings...

God is good...truly...we've had the gift of rain...blessings...Yesterday my walk got a little wet, well alot wet...I was soaked through but it was good, oh so good!  Today, my walk got a little wet, but not from rain...from a message I listened to on a Steubenville podcast.  It's always funny to me how God just zaps you and sends you what you need.  http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/queen-eighth-day-saturday/id539136499?i=117339738  I hope this link works for you...awesome message.  the name is Queen of the 8th...I found myself at the end of my walk boo hooing...hopefully no neighbors saw :) Went to mass this morning and was happy to see my sil and a dear friend there.  I am enjoying the summations that Father Jim (new Jim) has after the gospel reading.  Like...the word "justice" in the bible means a relationship with God, or blessing and grace from him...and that our word "mass" means to go out and share what you've heard.  I like this...I really like this.  My friend and I enjoyed a nice breakfast, and during our time  the rain fell again...more blessings.  I'm off today and I'm enjoying the time.  I started checking emails and had a message from another  friend who said a prayer for us and sent this beautiful video I had downloaded this song before the ACTS retreat a few weeks ago and thought it was beautiful.  How timely that she would send it today.  It speaks of blessings from rain drops and healing through tears, and lots of other wonderful and true things.  As I was listening to this I had a text from another good friend that I hadn't talked to in a long time.  Said she was on vacation and missed me...I had just been wondering how she was as I was going to breakfast with my other friend...how funny, how timely...blessings.  Our Lord has His hands in everything we do, everything we see, everyone we have contact with.  Our terrible that we rush through the day so busy and can't even see the blessings He has waiting for us.  Throught the words of a friend, a touch, a smile...a rain drop...oh and a song.  Blessings to you on this and every day.  Keep your eyes peeled for the gifts He sends daily and cherish them...oh and don't forget to go out and pass on the blessings...
Love you
