Laying down

Again today, too much for me to write but let me share words better than my own:


Joy, it comes in the morning…
Joy, it comes not in the gaining but in the giving, not in being someone but in being a sacrifice, not in laying up treasures, but in laying down self.
Joy, it comes in the mother who doesn’t think twice to do the unthinkable, to do the unlikely, the unlovely, the unheard of — who lives the Gospel.
It comes in the woman who loves the kid who has no one, the man who isn’t thinking about winning on earth but in heaven, the kids who cheer for the hurting- Ann Voskamp

 

Next week I hope to catch up and write about this month-  some of my favorite Saints were celebrated this month.  St. Francis.  St. Teresa.  Thomas Aquinas. St. Catherine.

I am most excited about my new app- The Daily Office.  Now, I have no excuse no to pray.
