We need to take our daily "temperature" and say "Thank you angel, or thank you Lord" for today I am "above ground and feeling better!" Yes! Thank God for the miracles of chicken soup and throat losenges from England. At Boots in England, we buy a wonder losenge called Strepsils that are loaded up with something that seems to put coughs to bed, and well, I feel better today. So time in front of the TV, reading quietly, and Strepsils, led me to say: "I’m better!" Now a day of quiet to top it all off and I’ll be "ready" again! Today in the church we celebrate the birth of Mary who with her "yes" to God became the Mother of God, and in turn, became our Mother from the Cross when Jesus said to John, "This is your Mother." Take her hand and let her guide you to the faith.
Well dears, get up! Get going. Pick up the piles and straighten things up a little. For today is the day to give thanks for gifts! Hope this is early autumn for many and that the rains and bad weather stop! God bless you.
