Sharing a little Easter Joy

[faith]

Hi all,

I just wanted to shout out a Happy Easter to ya all. I kind of get the impression most of us here pray alot, so I think its okay if I share a little "faith".

 

This year I paid a little more attention to the Stations of the Cross (The Passion of the Christ). At one of our church services, the priest invited us to all take a stone out of a basket at the alter and keep it as a reminder of the stone that was rolled away from the tomb of Jesus, and how it was to be a reminder that we are all "blocked" with our own stone, and when we can finally roll it away, we will rejoice at the light that we see. And so my prayer is that we all find that in bearing our "crosses", we too, will be able to roll that stone away and rejoice.

 

This day, I am feeling alot of that. Looking back on today, and much of this past week overall, my son has had a very good week. Today was remarkably well. His vocal is down so much. As he lays beside me watching tv.....quiet....a few small murmers here and there. I pray it stays like this. I hope all the anxieties of school don't come back next week and......no, I'll just take today, and say "thank-you, God".....................

Excellent Faith!! No Pun - I to thought and felt the same thing during "Stations".

[Cum Passus]

YES! YES!

 

I was told once to give all my troubles to Our Lady of Sorrows, and unite my pain with the sorrow She felt during the Passion. WOW!!! What a powerful journey... to walk in her shoes... now that is pain and suffering.

 

We have all our answers in our hands... we just have to fold them... then... watch and see how God takes the sting out of all our troubles.

 

For what ever the reason... God put us all in this season together. God Bless you all.

Hi

 

although I am not Catholic, I can attest to the fact that if it were not for the comfort, hope, peace, guidance and understanding that God graciously provided for me and my son on this journey with Tourette Syndrome, we would assuredly not be in the better place that we are today than when this all started for us.

 

Time and time again, I have been so thankful for the clear answers to the many prayers said on behalf of my son by myself, family, friends and caring others.

 

And, through all this over the past 8 years, my son has come to faith in Christ in a very deep experiential way, which, even more than his physical and emotional improvements, is the primary reason I am so thankful to serve a risen Lord
