To read the Full Joynotes JoyNotes
Today was a beautiful, beautiful day... sort of seemed like a day slipped out of heaven. The weather was so beautiful, warm and fresh without being hot. After Mass I pulled out our lawn swing from the garage and spent a delicious hour reading a fun book and just totally enjoying the day. I had the wonderful feeling that heaven is sort of like this...totally free and beautiful.
The pessimistic side of me - always wants to assure me that days like this will not come twice in a row so enjoy it! The fatalistic side of me says,... "Okay, what trouble is God preparing me for now?"
Think I need to stop drinking from the gloom and doom waters and trust that God is preparing us for days of Joy in heaven.. not sadness and sorrow. And beautiful days are glimpses of our glorious future.. all in store for us for ever and ever.
The fun book I am reading is a childrens book, (my favorite kind) called, "The Mysteriouos Benedict Society" by Trenton Lee Stewart. 485 pages of mystery and intrigue and suspense.. but not the adult kind where you have immoral stuff slapped in between the pages like slithery snakes... but just good and evil right out there in plain black and white that we can all see and deal with. Fun.
Very well written... I have this huge admiration for authors like this. I marvel how they do it... and enjoy every bit!
Blessings of Peace and All Good,
Sister Patricia and all the Sisters
