ALIVE and WELL!


Today was special in many ways. First off was the Confirmation ceremony at morning Mass.  Fr. Donal was excellent in his words of encouragement to the young boys and girls as he outlined how the Holy Spirit was inviting them to be members of the Church in a special way, and how the gifts of the Holy Spirit will guide and help them to be faithful to their renewed Baptismal promise.
Later in the day, meeting friends and enjoying the unusual June weather.
Was it lightening and thunder I heard?
The rainfall, teasing at first, became an unmerciful downpour, sending us running for shelter.  In a way it was fun too, dripping wet and so glad to get into dry clothes and have a hot cuppa!
Perhaps it's all the little pleasures of life that keep us alive and well and grateful for the good things in life. Also, able to embrace the little pinpricks that teach us to be a better and more loving person!
