 FIRST JOY - Today's Feast: The Seven Joys of Mary!!!  Second Joy: Peanuts comic strips - including this prophetic one! Here I am totally blonde (let's just admit it!) and happily receiving visitors, roses on my bedside table representing the near presence of little Therese and Marcel, while my excellent medical helper takes notes!
Okay, so Marcel didn't do a disappearing-tumor-act miracle, but that's good! You get so many fewer roses when you DON'T have surgery but just have a miracle. That's my guess! And I was (and am) really looking forward to this great surgeon I have (thanks Shirl!) doing his work well. How disappointing if yesterday he had his first surgery of the morning today cancelled with no one to replace it. A surgeon is virtuous (as a surgeon) when he practices his art excellently! So here's to doctors, nurses, techs, and all the good people I'll meet almost as soon as I finish this post! As for the 5 other joys I mentioned in the post title, how about: Joy #3 - your prayers! Thank you so much! Joy #4 - God's kindness in letting me fulfill a long held dream last night of watching from a comfy hotel room His gorgeous orange sunset over the mountains and city lights! Wow! Spectacular work, God! Thank You! Joy #5 - All the kind people we've been meeting along the way! Wow, this world is so full of kind people I hope you meet sometime too! How about start with whomever you see the minute you look up from this screen (or the first person you see whenever a person shows up in your sight!) - love him first and watch it boomerang right back to you (or be absorbed in a black hole if you got the wrong person, but hey, he needs love more than anyone!) Joy #6 - my husband upstairs in the hotel room as I'm in the lobby wide awake - and he's hearing the alarm and wondering where I am but with confidence (I hope) that I haven't left for Vegas! Joy #7 - the Saints! May they come to you today with their angels and greet you with joyful surprises in honor of Mary's 7 joys! Draw me, we will run! Comments are closed.
