Loving Lupita: Orphanage in Haiti


founded by Father Andre

St. Mary Parish became acquainted 
with Father Andre when he spent a summer
at our parish some years ago.
He shared his dream to house orphans
where he is based.  
Thanks to a hard-working and humble lady of our parish 
(I'm not using her name because she is so humble) and 
others, that dream is coming true.
Our ladies' Bible Study is gathering
items to send to the children 
and the adult volunteers for Christmas.
I know from previous years that 
our ladies will be generous.
Who wouldn't want to make the eyes
of these darling children shine 
on Christmas morning?

Good evening Nonnie. Wish you all the best on your endeavors for Fr. Andre. You are blessed to have such a mission effort.
A lovely post dear Nonnie and what a perfect way to honor the Blessed Lady than this example - in service of others who are in need. It is wonderful to connect with you again - I have been so busy this year that my blogging had been at the bottom of the list, blessings to you
I'm sure you must be doing your part to make those children's eyes shine!

although we miss you when you're not posting, I think it best to LIVE our lives with those around us. I continue to appreciate the Mary shrine you made.

Pondering about My Blog

I've been through quite a bit these past months that I haven't posted.  First, packing and moving and then unpacking . The first step of unpacking was my taking down boxes that were five and six boxes high.  About two weeks after I’d moved and was in the midst of unpacking, I developed horrendous pain in my ribs. I slathered on my gel I use to alleviate Fibromyalgia pain. Realizing that even that was not helping. Trying to make a long story short- Asked for pain pills No help; asked for another kind Doctor wanted to see me Went in- he didn’t understand why I was still in pain Sent me to get x-rays Diagnosis: compressed fracture in my 9th vertebra Cause: osteporosis Now on meds for that I’ve discovered that anytime I overdo, pain comes back, not quite full-blown, but enough that I must stop doing whatever I’m doing. That includes sitting at my computer writing. I wanted to bring my friends up-to-date; I’m pondering whether I should stop blogging altogether o
