Sunday, May 10, 2009 - Happy Mother's Day

Okay, here is one of the reasons I love the life I'm living now. Melisa just called and needed a couple of Mother's Day gifts. 5 minutes and she had them. Several people needed last minute Mother's Day gifts - it was so great to just go down to the "store" and put them together. My favorite part of the whole process is the packaging. I have a supply of grubbied Mother's Day tags and a whole bunch of my favorite rusty bells. Quick, lovely, one of a kind gifts!

Happy Mother's Day all!




Word of the day:
Fifth Sunday of Easter
Gospel
Jn 15:1-8

Jesus said to his disciples:
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower.
He takes away every branch in me that does not bear fruit,
and every one that does he prunes so that it bears more fruit.
You are already pruned because of the word that I spoke to you.
Remain in me, as I remain in you.
Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own
unless it remains on the vine,
so neither can you unless you remain in me.
I am the vine, you are the branches.
Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit,
because without me you can do nothing.
Anyone who does not remain in me
will be thrown out like a branch and wither;
people will gather them and throw them into a fire
and they will be burned.
If you remain in me and my words remain in you,
ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you.
By this is my Father glorified,
that you bear much fruit and become my disciples."
