Sabbath Moments

Colleen Spiro, the wonderful hostess of this meme, whose blog you can visit via my sidebar link, and whose website can be found right here,  has a brand new e-book coming out! Woo hoo! SO excited about that because I thoroughly enjoyed the first e-book she wrote a year or so ago. (Go check it out ~ It's called "Blueberry Muffins")

I love this meme Colleen offers each Saturday. It keeps me alert and on my toes to be more aware of the presence of God in my life.


This week, He blessed me with these Sabbath Moments:


* Holding my small son while he slept off a fever. There is something about a sleeping child that is so, completely, and wonderfully: ANGELIC.

* Read about the Catholic priest that was on-board the cruise ship that went down. His first inclination when the alarms were sounding was to "protect the Blessed Sacrament"! WOW. It's funny. But, I never EVER would have even had the thought that JESUS and his priest would be on-board a cruise-liner. Of COURSE they would...why not? It's just that this is not a thought that would naturally occur to me and when I read the article; and pondered the fact that Our Lord's True Physical Presence was among those dear people as they scrambled to survive...I somehow found that very comforting.

* Prayed my morning rosary at the dining room table with the little twinkly lights above my kitchen cabinets casting a warm and peaceful glow upon the room. My husband was a little late heading out to work that day. As I prayed, he was gathering his things and leaned over, quietly, to kiss me before he went out the door. I paused in my prayers to tell him I loved him and wished him a good day. As I returned to my meditation and prayer and watched my tall, handsome, strong, wonderful husband walk off into the still-dark morning...I felt so close to God, who provides for me through this faithful, hard-working man.
