Catholic Woman's Almanac

Linking up with the women over at Sucipio!

Moments of Gratitude:

* Saying Alleluia again!!!  And oh how I love this time of year with the Regina Caeli.
* Participating in a beautiful Triduum and Easter
* Being present to see our friends' son baptized, confirmed and receive the Eucharist at their Byzantine parish on Holy Saturday.
* Not having school this week!!!!!!!!!!
* Family, plain and simple.  Yes it can be complicated sometimes, but we are incredibly blessed to have the families that we have.
* Sunshine for a few days now.
* Our pastor giving out a free copy of "The Four Signs of a Dynamic Catholic" to each family in our parish!  This is a great book and I hope a lot of people actually read it.

In the Kitchen:

Some wonderful leftovers from Easter...polish sausage, Easter bread, hard boiled eggs, potato salad, jello...yum!!!  In between all that we're still trying to eat relatively decent because we've all got only 2 more weeks of our 90 days of P90X!  

The Week Ahead:

More than I would like to have to do because it is our Spring break and we should be out enjoying life instead of the to-do list that is developing.  Oh well, that's life.  We do have our monthly hour of prayer at PP this week as well as a friend coming to stay at the end of the week.  Other than that, it is job hunting for some of the older girls :)


Praying:

For good jobs for my children as well as for many other intentions.  We've been praying for a family stuck in Syria who now has a daughter with cancer.  Please join me in praying that they will be able to all leave the country, find safety and get treatment for their daughter.

Pondering:

The rest of our school year, what we spend our free time on and life in general...nothing too heavy!

Reading:

I still have a few pages left to go in "The Four Signs..." book so I need to finish those.  Then, while cleaning at my parents, one of the girls found my copy of "When the Well Runs Dry" by Thomas Green.  I almost bought another copy but thankfully found this one first, so that will be up next.

Our friends' sweet baby!!!

God Bless!
