I am grateful for Internet, especially CAF, friends
😉 . I am grateful for people who offer their personal sufferings for others and that we can pray for those who suffer. ✝️ 🏵️
 
Today I’m grateful for the easing of headaches over the last couple of days. Grateful for the deepening of my practice since the diagnosis of the dis-ease this body has. Grateful the body, mind, and spirit get stronger each day.
 
My christian brothers and sisters, Pope Francis, the holy family.
 
I am grateful for the help of Jesus, Mary, Joseph and many saints during a massively challenging time in my life.

I am also grateful that God has protected from harm the persons who run the animal and children’s charity in Aleppo that I follow on social media, and that North Korea seems willing to engage in some form of peace talks.
 
Today I’m grateful for my spiritual practice, the sunshine, and the much desired warmer temperatures.
 
  1. My Catholic Faith
  2. My parents and ancestors who carried their Faith forward, through more difficult times that I could imagine.
    3.The courage to say “Thy will be done” and finally really mean it, a difficult stumbling block for a long time. No more trying to make conditions.
 
Grateful a friend has made it through heart surgery successfully.
 
Grateful that a cousin’s husband who has cancer has found out his tumor has lost half of its size. Glorious day.
 
I am grateful God built healing abilities into the body and also heals through amazing modern medicine. 👨‍⚕️ 👩‍🔬
 
Grateful to God for the timing of smaller distractions and pleasures when other life issues are going on.
 
Happy anniversary, @Trishie, whatever it may be. Grateful for anniversaries. 🍰

I see your slice of cake 🙂 Happy Anniversary Trishie,I’m so glad you are here and to have met you.
 
@Greenfields, I look forward to having a cuppa and cake with you next time we’re down your way …thanks to CAF. Sadly it will take passage into the next world to meet with other friends, but it will be a joy to meet you,
 
Giving thanks this morning that the diocese has decided that the parish up the street from where I buried my husband (which provided the priest for his funeral, and where we both sometimes went to Mass and Adoration) is staying open, not losing any of its 3 priests, AND is even gaining a 4th priest. The priests are thrilled and compared it to winning the lottery. They thought surely they would have to merge again (this parish merged about 3 already) and/or that one or more of them would be reassigned. Now I can continue to visit there when I visit husband’s grave.

I just came from 7:30 am Mass there and although they have 2 more Sunday Masses later, it was so full I had to scout around for a seat.

Thank you Jesus! And thanks to Mary, Joseph and certain saint I won’t mention so I don’t give away the name of the parish 🙂
