I'm sorry that it has been so long since I have posted last. It was my intention and goal to write at least once a week. But, things at the parish have gotten very busy and I had to make some choices. This morning someone told me that they were feeling like they were underwater and needed to take a breathe but didn't know when they would be able to make it to the surface. I really felt for the person and in many ways I could relate. My reaction to my thought was, "why do we do this to ourselves"?
And then I remember Sunday liturgy. This is why we do this. Because when I sit down with my husband and baby and I look out into my parish FAMILY I feel complete. I have been given so much in my life; an amazing family, many talents, supportive friends and a great job. I know though that these gifts come with a price. This is where STEWARDSHIP comes into play. We give our time, talent and treasure to give back what we have been given. Being a part of a parish family means that we need to give back - there is give and take in families - and a parish family is no different. So, as we are in the middle of September - Stewardship month, know that the parish is in my prayers and that I am doing all I can to give back to you and to love and support you.
