I checked out your blog today and read some of your posts. It is a really good blog. You should definitely consider starting it up again.<BR/><BR/>May the Lord bless and keep you.<BR/><BR/>Fr.

This is necessary for continued growth. Take heart; you are in the depths of this growth period. Rest and take this time to "pamper" yourself by "indulgently" going into yourself and ignoring for a time the excessive demands of the world. God loves you and wishes you to grow, or you wouldn't be at this point. Remember that old poem about the footprints in the sand. When you see only one set of prints, that means God is carrying you--you are not walking alone, they are His footprints as He carries you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8609283.post-37713526191832741402007-12-06T17:32:00.000-06:002007-12-06T17:32:00.000-06:00Holy St. Nicholas, pray to God for us.<BR/><BR/>What a great reminder, thank you for sharing your priest's words.Mimihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02645484704486562810noreply@blogger.com
