I am blessed to be able to go to church for daily Mass almost daily… Monday was the feast day of St Therese "The Little Flower." She was a peaceful, gentle woman who loved Jesus. She humbled herself to be very small so she would fit securely into Jesus’ heart. She believed Jesus would take her into his heart.  (blessed are the poor in spirit… the small… for they are children of God). I ask St Therese to hold on to my sister Annette whom I firmly believe our Lord took into heaven when she died (she was 7, Sarah 12, Donna was 5 and I was 3). Is the little Annette a saint? I don’t know, but she is a tiny child of God, and she is with us in the Christ who is in our hearts. Today we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Guardian Angels. We read from Exodus where God told the wandering Israel that he would send an angel to guide them and protect them… "Just listen to him and follow him." I still try to listen to my guardian angel… Sometimes we say "My conscience spoke…" Why can’t that be God’s angel who is sent to protect us? Yesterday I painted sunsets and sail boats… Karla commented, "You miss the Keys, don’t you?" Here at Mass the dog attends and sits watching the priest with a lot of love…. Yes I miss St Peters church where we might have a dog or 2 at Mass… But here in the mountains we are at Peace and Chuck lights fires every night. In fact I think I hear the crackle of fire right now. Why not? Have a wonderful autumn! God bless you.
