Happy Feast Day Julian!

“The greatest honor we can give Almighty God is to live gladly because of the knowledge of his love.”

God is always present, and God always loves. 

Wife, mother, blogger, Catholic ministry. I love to garden even when it goes wrong. Same with writing (and we know it can go wrong.) Believing that God is present in all of it.

  1. Thank you for this simple but beautiful reminder of God’s love. Thanks also for your continuing prayers for Karen who is facing a really tough time. I have told her of your prayers and she is so grateful.

    1. Please let her know that not just I am praying, many people I know who visit check the prayers as well. The Body of Christ bouys each of us at times, and it is her turn to be lifted up.
