(Day 32) without Cleo: day of the Cross

Today we went to our far away church

for the feast of the Exaltation of the Cross...

which I learned/was reminded that it is a feast

that is 40 days after the Feast of Transfiguration, 

linking them together, 

as the Feast of Transfiguration was, in the Gospels,

closely before Christ's crucifixion.

I brought my 2 Crosses from my +Aunt Karen to be blessed 

(finally, about 9 months after I got them) and a beautiful prayer rope

for a friend! :) 

***

We had a nice meal afterwards, delicious fast-food Friday food! :) 

And my Husband got new shoes and I went to the grocery store 

for a few things....

***

It's a busy weekend and as I said in my last blog post,

I hope to tell you more about it on Monday.

***

Today I saw beautiful trees in our drive and my Husband commented

that I really love trees...and it is true... so beautiful...

***

I pray that God's mercy and the bEeauty He brings can 

help carry you, wherever you are in life,

no matter how hard or long things seem right now!
