Gratitude Again

5 things I am grateful for today include:

1. A "late" wake up at 6:30 am Mass and Starbucks Coffee

2. 8:15 am Mass and the wisdom of Jesus in the Word ("Give to Caesar what his Caesar and to God what is God's") and his Eucharistic body and blood.

3.) Quiet, centering prayer after Mass

4.) The leisure to write two thank you notes to two good friends

5.) Despite the pain, having good dental care, an appt. today

Scriptural "dart" that also caught me ear this AM: "And consider the patience of our Lord as salvation." (2 Pt.3:15) God of Truth and Love, you have certainly been patient with me; help me be patient with myself and others. In Jesus' name. Amen
