My time with Elena in
Milwaukee is coming to an end. I’m headed home Monday evening, but not before
going in the afternoon with Elena’s mama to an ultrasound where we will see
Elena’s “babies” –her brother and sister, due next month.
[Mary October 2, 2012]
That means that next
time I come visit this holy family, I will have THREE grandchildren here! The
mere thought of it blows my mind, and fills me with such gratitude. I simply
can’t say enough how much I enjoy and delight in watching my son Christopher
and his wife Mary as parents. They amaze me, constantly.
[Autumn in Milwaukee]
As only God’s planning
would have it, it’s been a beautiful week in Milwaukee—with trees dressed in
full “bloom” with Autumn colors.
Much like the trees and
colder temperatures, our family, too, is shifting seasons—changing and blooming
as our adult children establish their own homes and become parents.
[Christopher & Elena]
[Elena Clare, playing in the leaves]
"Let the children
come to me;
do not prevent them,
for the kingdom of God belongs to
such as these.
Amen, I say to you,
whoever does not accept
the kingdom of God like a child
will not enter
it."
Then he embraced them
and blessed them,
placing his hands on
them.” [Mk 10:14-16]
It has been lovely to journey with you here as you enjoy your family. God bless you all, and special prayers for those babies on the way!
