The Providential love and care of God always shows up! I have seen, so many times, His answer to a prayer.
Last week there were two lovely, yet unrelenting, hot days. Not being ready for such high temperatures in May, it was difficult to stay outdoors in the 91* degree weather or be indoors with no fans or ac. So, of course, my thoughts, and maybe a groaning prayer at the same time was, " Oh, please God, I need to get away! How nice it would be near the water with a breeze,!"
That happened to be on Wednesday.
On Thursday, my daughter Karen called and asked, " What do you think? Would you like to spend the weekend from Friday to Sunday at camp in Maine with me?" My answer," Karen, you are an answer to a prayer! I would love to be anywhere with you on the weekend!"
We talked and listened to music all the way to Maine, had dinner and relaxed with friends, getting to know them and love them better, and had a good nights sleep in cooler Maine weather !
Saturday was sunny, breezy and filled with activities. She in the garden, cleaning up the Winter's debris and I, cooking soup for the "welcoming dinner", where all the new arrivals met to renew acquaintances while sharing a meal.
Sunday morning we awoke early enough to attend morning Mass at St. Anthony's chapel at the Franciscan Monastery in Kennebunkport. A time to relax and enrich our spiritual life.
What a surprise and joy to see Fr. Raymond celebrating and Fr. Andrew giving a homily on the Gospel reading of the day!
I felt at home, again.
I felt at home, again.
In the Gift shop Fr. Raymond approached and engaged us in conversation.
