Nonnie's Observations

The tomb is empty. He was not taken, but rose. He kept His promise to overcome death. His crucifixion and resurrection  gives us life eternal with him. So sound the bells; sing hallelujah and songs of praise! Walk away from the  darkness of sin and disbelief   and into the light with our risen Lord! 

Colors… red for anger blue for sadness yellow for cowardice green for freshness or new white for purity black for evil purple for royalty What color would you assign to forgetfulness? How about orange ? early in day indecision reigns which photo do I use?   no photo leads to how can I write?  busy day… (it’s Lent you know) after Mass… supper from Subway home, change clothes, sit down to eat fully relaxed, watch TV memory sailed away- so… no blog post for Saturday that’s why there are two photos today mea culpa!                                                                                                              linked to...

My post is dedicated to my cousin Rosemary, who died  unexpectedly  this past Thursday, March 21, 2013  and to her family. The verse below was written originally  for a friend who suffered the death of a son. Mary, Virgin Mary, Miriam, Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God,  Or, as she’s called by the faith of Islam, Maryam. However you address her , her aid is nearby. As has been said before, and most likely will be again, these times are hard. So hard that even as adults,  we seek our mother’s comforting touch.   May our loving Mother bring whatever is needed for the peace of Christ To dwell in your family’s hearts and home. visit Rebecca's splendid blog for others who share love for  our Blessed Mother  head over to Weekly Top Shot #76
