This is an old picture of our four precious children who have now given us beautiful grand children and great grand- children. They did well at school and sports!They have hearts of amazing compassion and kindness and that is why we are so proud of them.
Kindness expresses all the goodness of the heart of God for all the children everywhere. We celebrate with others of different faith, whose love for their children beats strong within them;
we celebrate families and the joy of being loved.
The gift of motherhood is that the children we are blessed with give so much back to us. My heart aches for the mothers of children who do unspeakable and unbearable acts to violence and bring shame to their families.
Last night my back was so painful it was hard to sleep. I kept thinking of Mary and all she had to go through to being the baby Jesus into the world. She was chosen for her beautiful spirit and her deep faith and awesome courage; yet most important was her humility. She experienced an amazing encounter with the divine energy of God that would be the fulfilment of the ancient promise. She turned to another woman to find comfort and reassurance that Joseph had failed to give to her. His pride and his reputation were so strong he could not believe the powerful truth that Mary had been chosen.
All night all I could think of was the hard road that Mary had to travel to bring new life, new hope, new faith and beauty into a cruel world of complete darkness.
Anyway I feel very blessed with all my family and their love and concern for me.
