Approaching the Holiday Season

Even though "Negative Mylea" is part of the past I will quote her just this once from one encounter which happened back in July...

A Friend asked Negative Mylea if she was ever happy. She replied by saying

Negative Mylea: I have lost the meaning of Happiness

Friend: You don't even enjoy the holidays like Christmas and opening up presents?

Negative Mylea:  The holidays have always been stressful for me and opening up presents makes me feel selfish because I would not have enough gifts compared to my sisters.

The Friend was silent

Now that "Negative Mylea" is part of the past. "Positive Mylea" will take over her response to the holidays?

The Holidays have been stressful in the past. I look forward to this year though since I see it in a newer light full of meaning.

I have always loved sitting around the dinner table praying with my family and friends.

As for food Eating Mama's Tacos and Banana Pudding along with Sausage Balls if there is any left before Uncle Kelly and Uncle Curt take them all. It just makes my mouth water thinking about it.

The presents are nice but don't mean nearly as much to me now as they did in the past.
I will get a few this year but have deiced to do something different.
I would tell you but it would spoil a future blog post.   

Last but not least The true meaning of Thanksgiving and Christmas will take much more of a dominate place this holiday Season for me.

Sheperd's Storehouse

We try to get involved in different forms of community service, one is that of feeding the poor. We have been volunteering at the Shepherds Storehouse since 2004. Once a moth on a Monday morning from 8:30am -12:00pm.

What We Do

We stock shelves with food and empty out boxes of food that came from the food bank. Take donations and bring the food on carts to the family's to load into their cars.

Donations

We received many donations today half of them came from St.Thomas Aquinas the other half from Midway Baptist combined with several individual donations averaging three bags each.

Overall...

It was a busy day. I guess we served 15 families. I'm not quite sure to be exact.

Food For The Soul From St Teresa

"It is here, my daughters, that love is to be found - not hidden away in corners but in the midst of occasions of sin. And believe me, although we may more often fail and commit small lapses, our gain will be incomparably the greater." - St Teresa of Avila 

I needed that today, Thanks St Teresa!

My "So Called" New Theme Song - Move

I was told by my family this is my new theme song. (I didn't know I had one to begin with?)

Angels and Bells

Last night I went to "Youth Night." We got off subject and started talking about Angels. It made me think of at mass during the consecration, you hear the bells ring. As a child of about 5 years old, I remember my mother telling me that whenever you hear the bells ring it means the angels are present here at our Lord's sacrifice.

One Sunday, we brought a few of our friends, who don't go to mass often. My mother leaned over and told one of the little girls the same thing. She heard and said aloud "Where are They?" as she looked up at the banisters of the church. Everyone must have heard because people started to stare.

To this day there is times, when I hear those bells ring. I think back to that moment when my mother told me for the first time. Even though I was just a child I had that of little faith, but knew that of the angels honoring our Lord, something I try to do all the time.

I feel so Happy I could Dance and Skip at the Grocery Store

OK, It seems obvious that I am in a really good mood lately. This past Saturday I was up at the church with my Dad. All of a sudden I started to skip as we made our way to the church office under the moonlight. Daddy noticed and called mommy and told her what I was doing. He was so happy you could have thought I took my first step.

Last night after supper mommy mentioned "what if you started dancing in the Grocery store." I laughed and said "maybe so" Today I found this video and thought I would share it. Wouldn't it be funny if I really did dance and skip at the Grocery Store. Mommy said she would just ignore me. So live life and have a good time...even if it is out in public! And also to say the least I am not High today!
