Just Maybe....

Tonight I have been searching the Internet for Catholic Blogs with a scrappy kind of twist. I haven't found anything. So I have been thinking, maybe, just maybe that's what I should do. I already do in lots of ways. I talk about God, my family and everyday life. So, Jesus, if this is what you want me to do I know you will give me the words to write. I trust you.
Today is the day my mom went to be with Jesus a year ago. I so much wish that she could come back. I miss her so much. I can still see her face, her hands and all the expressions that she used to make. Her face told a thousand untold words. My mom, even at age 79 never loss her spunk. You never knew what to expect out of her. I loved when her eyes danced with mischief. I get my quirky sense of mischief from her and I see it in Cassidy's (my granddaughter) eyes too. What I long for most is to put my head on her lap and have her stroke my hair as she often did when things just were not going right for me. I miss that touch more than anything. I now pass on that love to Cassidy. I know that she can feel it, as she reaches for me and lays her head on my shoulder. How I love her.
My mom was a traditional Catholic in many ways. She prayed the old prayers that she was taught as a child. She prayed for everyone. I have often wandered away from my Catholic hertiage only to return again and again. Maybe our choir doesn't sound like a rock concert, our Alleluia 's and Amens aren't quite as loud and our Mass doesn't usually get us all warm and fuzzy. We are quite, dedicated followers of Christ. Our faith comes from the debt of our souls. We are faithful in the quite resting place of Jesus. Often times we are judged harshly by other Christians and the media. I know many Christians that can re site the bible and I also know many Catholics that live the words. Sometimes knowing is a long bridge away from showing.
I know that I don't have to explain my Catholic faith because this is my blog and I can write what I want (LOL). Just kidding. I am not trying to convert anyone, nor do I want to be converted. So, as they say in AA, take what you want and leave the rest.
May the peace and love of Jesus bring you the comfort and joy that your heart desires.
