2005 - Retreat Day at St Mary's
Dear God,
Thank you for the many ways you show your face. I see you in those I love, my husband, my girls, my parents but also in those I work with. I am so happy to be able to model your love to others. I know my anger or lack of patience or frustration gets in the way of sharing your love but I feel your love and forgiveness when I go to Mass and spend time with you.
As I try to balance each day all that I have going on I am grateful to the people, the angels you’ve placed in my life. First, thank you for my husband, because he makes me feel loved and supported and beautiful. Then my girls, they show me that even though I am not perfect, they love me more deeply than anyone else. They are pure examples of the blessings I have been given. I learn so much about God because of the things they do and say.
I am at a point in my life that I feel confident in who I am. I know because of the presence of God in my life good things are possible. I am thankful for the group of friends I have both personally and as a family and professionally. It is such an awesome feeling to know I have people to lean on/people I can go to who have the same morals and values I do.
I struggle to know if this is really where I need to be (my job) but you always tell me to stay. I am grateful for your love, your support, your blessings. I will continue to serve you each day and model your teaching and your love for others. Help me to continue to grow in my faith and reach out to others. AMEN
