Aging!

Have you noticed!

Brown spots on your hand?

Crepe skin on your upper arms?

Sagging skin under your chin?

Trips to the bathroom several times a day/hour for a dribble!?

Stuck poop?

Bigger belly?

Apron belly?

No clothing styles for your age or weight?

Poor eye sight?

Doctors who say “well, you’re not getting any younger.” Or maybe “your numbers are inside the normal range” but my fave… “If you’d just lose a bit of weight.”

No answers for overly bloated legs, arms, face, stomach.

Impossible appointment waits?

Spam callers trying to get you to buy insurance, sell your house, or make you think they are the police or social security?

Young adults who have no clue what the cold war was or never heard of the Battle of Leptano. Have no clue the genocide caused by Stalin or Hitler.

How cheaply made appliances are and how fast they breakdown?

Yep

Aging

Gotta love it.

“May this prayer remind me that every gift comes from You.
Let my words and actions show respect for Your creation.
With humble spirit, I give thanks.
May peace fill my thoughts.
May light fill my soul.
May I walk in wholeness again.
Guide my steps like the stars guide the night traveler.
Speak softly to my heart.
Give me wisdom that is calm and clear.
Let me choose what is right, not what is easy.
Amen.”

Village peaceful

Congratulations to David & Barbara on thier wedding.

St Genesius patron of actors & musicians, reminds us that faith can be gloriously expressed when art is inspired by God. God of diversity, teach me to seek your presence in every facet of life and art.

Meditations for Each Day, by Antonio Cardinal Bacci, pg. 340, Pride is Robbery
“When we are proud, we steal from God. Everything which we are and have, both in the natural and supernatural order, is a gift from God. Therefore, when we claim the credit for ourselves, we take from Hin that which really belongs to Him. (1Cor: 4:7) Pride is a very grave sin. When we reflect on the matter, it becomes quite clear that pride is the basis of every sin. When a man disobeys the law of God, he prefers sin to God. Sin therefore is always an act of rebellion against God.” St. Agustine points out, the first sin was one of pride, and it changed an angel into a demon.

Scripture Reading for Day 25 of Never Alone.
Psalm 139:3-4 You sift through my travels and my rest; with all my ways you are familiar. 4 Even before a word is on my tongue, LORD, you know it all.
Isaiah 6:3 One cried out to the other: “Holy, holy, holy* is the LORD of hosts! All the earth is filled with his glory!” 4At the sound of that cry, the frame of the door shook and the house was filled with smoke.* c

Good Morning!
Today will be a late morning start for me. For this I am truly grateful
The boy rolled in last evening after a month of working in Missouri. He’ll be here a few days to take care of things and will head out again on another job. It is good to see him. I have missed seeing his smile.
Not sure what the man has on his schedule today, but the yard is mowed, the garden is weeded, and produce is picked.
I leave about 10:30 this morning for a few quick things.
Sunday morning our Adoration will turn into 2 hrs. every week, instead of every other. If you haven’t spent time in Adoration at St. Theresa‘s in Union Center please consider it. Our time there is filled with peace and calmness.

Author, Rosa Nauchette Carey is worth a look. Hamblin Garland is another.

The end of the liturgical year is fast approaching. It dawns on me that I have been dusting lightly over my time with God. You know, the quick minimum requirement, a murmured prayer here and there, attendance at Mass on Sunday only, the thought oh I don’t have enough time to do that, I’m sure you get it. Nuff said.

Know you are prayed for.

Today we remember Roger & Irene who married on this day in 1950. We also remember Bill Connery who died on this day in 1987. May they rest in peace.

In the Margin… “Tribulation is a gift from God, one that He especially gives His special friends.” St. Thomas More

St Philip Benizi teaches us the importance of humble service. Father, teach me not to love honors and recognition as much as serving and following You.

It is Saturday, I am going to break with the regular posting today. It was delightful to spend more time doing nothing this morning. Normally I’m up and running way to early with little time to enjoy the peaceful quiet of the front porch. School will be starting soon. The frenzy of getting ready for it has already begun. Noticeable changes are being made around the village. Stop signs galore have been being added to our a one flashing intersection light village, although, we could use another. Two pedestrian crossing lights (that the pedestrians use incorrectly), The Local Buzz, an AirBnB, an attorney’s office, the new splash pad, and I see the new six plex that is going up on the west side by the credit union. What I’d like to see is a brochure of what Cashton has to offer and times they are open along with a who to contact number. Something I believe the business association should tackle.

Nuff said
