Living our faith in plain and humble service to Jesus, Our Lord and Savior ... ORA ET LABORA +++ Sentire cum Ecclesia (to think and to feel with the Church)
Rejoice in hope; endure in affliction; persevere in prayer. Romans 12:12
Prayer joined to sacrifice constitutes the most powerful force in human history.
St. John Paul II
I have a mustard seed; and I am not afraid to use it. (Habeo granum sinapis quod uti non timeo)
Pope Benedict XVI
But I feel the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a direct war, a direct killing, direct murder by the mother herself."
St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Cool and Dry
Today tis cool, breezy, but dry. The first two are a relief but the third is a danger. One dropped cigarette and widespread fires will result. Keep us in prayer for rain, please.
The pantry is filling with jars of sauerkraut, apple butter, and peach butter. Green beans, jams, squash, and tomatoes add to the colorful palette. The orderly rows of jars on the shelves create a sense of satisfaction as we fill the larder for the coming winter and spring.
The young people of the parish are active in their sports and retreats; the glow on their faces reminds me of those orderly quarts of veg...so full of promise and good things. May God bless and protect our young people.
That's me then.

What a lovely post! I enjoyed it very much. Doesn't it seem this time of year makes you reflect and think more? It does me.
Aye, we love the Autumn most. Thank you!
I think it would be so nice to be able to provide for our family like that, stocking up foods for the upcoming winter. I love autumn!
God Bless!
I agree with pandabean. Even though I don't can...yet, I have been finding awesome and really cheap deals on canned veggies at our grocery store (6 can for $1.72) so every time I go there, I stock up!
I also really keep a keen eye out on other deals because now is the time where the prices drop (I have noticed that in chicken), so...
It's exciting!
Bless U dear Sis.
