AUGUST 10 - GIFTS OF HARD EUCHARISTEO (Giving Thanks for the Hard Times)

_______________________________________

One still-young son left home, 

pursuing promising success.

Though that was not achieved, 
the best is yet to come.

One graduate left home,

we blinked,

and he was married.

God is in this too....

_______________________________________

One canine left home...

way too soon.

Yes, God knows all about the hard times.

And we learn to give thanks through it all.

Eucharisteo.

AUGUST 9 - GIFTS HOLE, WHOLE AND HALF

Holes large enough for pinkies

make for happy little girls...

Whether whole-hearted or half-hearted, 
it's a gift to be in the presence of children.
Oh to take full advantage of this...

Church bells telling time...
