In the Arms of God

Why We Experience Our Misery
“The experience of your own misery is given to you precisely so that, without hesitation, you will throw yourself into the arms of your Blessed Mother. You should not doubt that She would receive you with great joy. Only then, when you are embraced and quieted as a child in the arms of God, can you and should you think about your misery.”
(Behold I Stand at the Door and Knock, pg. 93)

Family Night at the Pool

Last night was the girl’s last swim meet. Sparkles had two heats and Rose had three heats. Her last heat was the Medley which was the very last heat of the night. It was a very loooong evening. We had a JOYous time and I think both the girls set their PR.
