it’s the monday giggles…
A two year old referred to her pockets
as snack holes.
And this is
what I shall forever
call them.
“Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.”
Matthew 18:2
hugs n’ blessings for the many blessings that fill our heart-pockets!
Over 4 ft. green-apple gum-ropes and fireball candies.
That’s how we met.
Mid 1970’s during a high-school baseball game at a snack stand.
Every game thereafter we’d saunter down to the snack stand together during the 7th inning stretch.
And the rest, as they say, is history.
A lot of time has passed since then and our friendship has branched out from the ball park accompanying our shared faith & family life.
How truly blessed we are to have such a long-lasting friendship together.
Where candy continues to (still) be included!
Here’s to another great year together, dear friend!
(Isn’t it wonderful???? No one can believe how old you are.)
A friend loves at all times.
Proverbs 17:17
Which friend do you need to remind how much you love them?
hugs n’ blessings to all those celebrating life-long friendships!

However, to deny that I and countless other faithful Catholics – nay Christians – are not confused would be a flagrant lie.
And remember: I. Hate. Lies.
