Abundance

We went to Sioux Falls for an overnight getaway this weekend. I've never experienced such a refreshing and enjoyable time. So many times I think we need to go someplace we've never been to really have fun and renew our spirits, but that wasn't the case this time. It was kind of spur of the moment and every single detail was delightful. The kids all helped get us ready to go, they cleaned their rooms, we got good accomodations for Bill etc. and all the activities of the last twenty four hours were enjoyable for each of us. The kids played so hard they all slept the entire way home. And I'm off to take a short nap before Mass.

When I think of the abundance we experienced this weekend, abundance of joy, relaxation, fun, peace, delight etc. I can't help but think that this is only possible because something has changed in my heart. It's not that we have never had experiences similar to this before, it's that I am more able to receive them.

Blessed be God in His Angels and in His Saints for this grace.
