Days of Gratitude - Day 43

 

Today I want to say thank you to the nuns that I had as teachers.  Mainly because society has this idea that they all were mean, or scary or cruel and comics and shows make fun of being taught by them all the time.  The nuns that taught in our schools were kind and caring.  I remember one of the nuns on yard duty having kindergarten and grade 1 children all holding one of her fingers like a flock of 10 around her as she carefully tried to walk with them all.  When they came outside we all ran to them, calling "Sister!  Sister!"

Yes, I know there were those that did not live the gospel and were doing evil things, like all people can do but these Sisters of St. Joseph loved children and showed it every day.  When I watch the movies - Bells of St. Mary or Trouble with Angels I remember these good sisters and thank them for touching my life.   

Days of Gratitude - Day 42

 

I started life being taken to Mass, and then there were the times that I refused to go but then I went back and now I am hugely grateful for the Mass.

There is nothing more beautiful, more miraculous more deeply moving than Mass and I will never skip a Mass again beyond being too ill to go and I pray that doesn't not happen for too long because my heart always longs to attend Mass.  

Days of Gratitude - Day 41

 

I am grateful for all the cats that came in my life, from Winkie to Minoux all the way to Tigger and all the others in between.  

Their purrs, cuddles and meows were always there through my life and that was a true blessing.
