Morning Offering given

Sierra Blanca is peaceful

We slept in again or at least it feels like it. At home, it’s our normal waking time.

Just heard this morning that our G’daughter Keziah A and the Wartburg College choir were honored to sing during Mass at St Peter’s Basilica on May 6. May it increase their desire to know and serve the Lord.

Congratulations to Haley C who will receive her 1st Holy Communion today at Our Lady of Miracles. We are honored to be here with her, not only as her G’parents but as her Baptismal sponsors. She’s grown into a beautiful young lady.

Proverbs 8: 17 I love them that love me: and they that in the morning early watch for me, shall find me. 

God came to Solomon in a dream (1Kings3:3-15) and told him to ask for whatever he wanted. Solomon humbly asked for Wisdom to lead God’s people. Here in Proverbs we find that all of us can find wisdom if we look/watch for it. Wisdom is the first and highest gift of the Holy Spirit. It is the perfection of faith, through which we come to value properly those things we believe through faith. It is applying that knowledge into our everyday life.

Our time here in Sierra Blanca will soon be over. Our long trek home will begin. We will take the time to meet old friends 5 hrs down the road and catch up with the past 30 yrs.

Send up a few prayers for our safe return to the North Country.

Know we are praying for you.
