"Go East", they said...: A very special day!

Dear Friend;

Come along, make haste and join us in our adventures while living "In The East".

We are living in the east, geographically speaking, after a sudden work transfer beckoned us almost across the entire country, splitting our family in half with grown children/grandchildren remaining behind on the west coast.

We moved into our new home April/06 but never knew it would be God's providence to endure another move for work and positioning for a future medical situation. We moved again amidst 4 feet of snow in mid Dec/08.

We hope to continue sharing our pioneering moments with our family and friends back home, creating an environment for tenderly passing along the new memories we'll be making over here in the east, those that will stand the test of time in both thought and deed.

Sprinkling some ambiance into the mix will be a fully loaded and most positive outlook while we're on this adventure and new challenge together.

Please join us while we journey onward. Feel free to email me with your comments, questions or ideas. We welcome you here.

Sursum Corda!
Renee

A very special day!

Celebrating her First Holy Communion

Today is “Trinity Sunday”, (also otherwise known as Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity), such an important feast day within the liturgical cycle of the church. Surrounding this Sunday are two other very important feast days, Pentecost and Corpus Christi, how good this time of year is for all.

What a perfect day to have family and friends enjoy a spectacular lunchtime potluck after church, and a specially designed cake giving honor to the eight children making their First Holy Communion together. Six hours later, we are home, in awe of the beauty and blessings this special day has graced us all with, particularly our young daughter.

John 6:32, 51-52: "Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say to you; Moses gave you not bread from heaven, but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven... I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever; and the bread that I will give, is My Flesh, for the life of the world."
