Placed in My Heart

My heart aches
I know not why
The Spirit speaks
I hear His cry
Souls lost
My Children scorned
His voice cries out for those yet born

I Love you
I Love you
I Love you child
Follow me and never die

His heart aches
For His lost
My heart aches for our loss

Fear not my child
what:'s lost is found
beneath the glory
of My crown

King of Kings
and Lord of Lords
I Am here within the thorns

Blessed be you chosen ones
Spread My word
for the time will come
When Heaven and Earth
will become but one

Grace and Mercy
I give my flock
Lay down your sins
upon My cross

For soon will come
The day you await
and I will meet you at
My gate

My arms are open
for those who are weary
death is gone
and life becomes living

A Very Proud Family Moment

Ordination
to the
Permanent Diaconate
Today my big brother Jeremy and 9 others were ordained as Catholic Deacons
Jeremy has been dedicated to his studies for 5 years
and today was a day of pride for our family.
We wished our parents could have been there to see this day
but
as Jeremy so eloquently put as he delivered the graduation speech
"For those who could not be here with us today
they have the best seat in the house."
Preach it brother
Praise God
So here are some pictures of our God filled family day.

Jeremy and his family
His sons
Andrew and Graeme
His wife Claire
Jeremy
and his daughter Emily

Me and my Big Brother

My brother and sister Pat
The 3 of us
Last but not least
My Big husband Steve and my Big brother Jeremy

True Colours

I love it when incidents of the day become a blessing.
Leaving work I ran into an employee of the mall and we had a typical end of the day chit chat
(mall talk)
"Must be nice to go home and relax I have to work till close"
It was then I told her I wasn't done my day but was heading to Junior High
"You Go to church? You teach the kids?
What do you teach them?
Hahahaha
They let you?
Wow I am seeing a different side to you
Your true colours who knew?"
Hahahaha
Now you know! I replied
Kinda bothered me a bit
but then
Tonight at JH and Youth we were together we watched a video called Pure
about Jesus and the Samaritan Woman
Well I have never been married 5 times and then lived with #6
but I was far from being pure as well.
Be it of the heart or physically or emotionally
but that was my past and Jesus knew my heart as He knows yours.
Yes we have free will but He is a patient God and His timing is always impeccable.
So even when we don't see our potential in life
or
others don't see it
God sees it
just as Jesus saw the Samaritans woman's need for self worth and acceptance.
He took the time to go to her and let her know that there is a much greater love in this world than relying on mans
He did this because.......

As I was thinking about this day and the events that happened on my way home
once again
God showed me through music
Isn't He the Best!
