I went to mass this morning. I go because there is something I don’t understand that is greater than what I understand going on. I don’t see it. I feel it. I sense it. Some days it is aa if I am touched by it. Every once in a while I’ll catch a glimpse of it and know. That moment doesn’t last long, It lasts long enough for me to know there is something I call God and it’s as real to me as my right leg. When i catch a glimpse my heart overflows with gratitude.

Today’s Thought: Enjoy Every Moment
I write this post on a Sunday morning. A series of thunderstorms passed through this morning bringing torrential rains with them. It was pouring rain when I parked my car in the church parking lot and headed into mass. A mom and dad and their two girls and a boy were trailing behind me as we walked through the pouring rain toward the church. I had my rainwear on. The family behind me had no rain gear. The kids were laughing and having a wonderful time walking in the downpour. I was sure they’d prefer playing in the rain instead of going into church. They made me smile and reminded me to enjoy every moment today whether it’s raining or sunny.
Feel Good Tip ~ Going to Church
When I go to church I feel good. I feel connected with others who worship with me. I feel connected to the music. I feel connected prayers the priest says at mass. I look around and watch those who are at mass with me praying knowing that they, like me, have issues they are struggling with; and they, like me, seek help and peace through their prayers.
