Last Week Would Have Been Better
But we ought to be celebrating the resurrection all year long anyway, right? Here’s some Sacred Heart singing to bring you a little resurrection joy.

When I imagine the saints singing in heaven, it sounds more like this than the Hallelujah Chorus, not because this is more beautiful, but because it’s more real. 

Thankful Thursday

I had a free day today—no appointments or visitors—so I could spend the day working uninterrupted. I’m thankful that my life is often full of happy interruptions, but I’m also thankful for a solid work day now and then. I sewed and did laundry and cleaned the stove top and oven. I’m thankful for my new sewing machine and my old but still working washing machine and stove.  I’m thankful for my home and everything in it.

I’m thankful that my son returned safely from his trip to Germany and Poland. I’m thankful that he enjoyed himself and didn’t spend all of his money. 

I’m thankful that my little granddaughter lives close by so I can spend time with her regularly. Not every grandmother has that and I count it as a gift from God that I do.

I’m thankful for asparagus, a tasty spring blessing. 

I’m thankful for all these temporal blessings, and I’m thankful that the blessings of this world are not the only blessings I have. I’m thankful that all believers are priests, so that we have direct access to God without an earthly mediator.  I’m thankful for forgiveness of sins and the promise of a heavenly inheritance.

What about you? What are you thankful for?
