Today is just a beautiful day
and Sr. K and I had a long walk this morning to celebrate! I am sooo happy that we are having a bit of
warmth right now, I love laying in a spot in the sun and soaking it in! So, is everyone preparing for Lent? It is only 1 ½ weeks away and I can see that
the Sisters are getting ready. Sr. K
said that there is a great website out there that everyone can sign up for and
it is totally free! I love “free” don’t
you? It is called “Best Lent Ever” and I
recommend that everyone try it out. You
get a daily e-mail with something to inspire you for your Lenten journey.
As for me, I know for sure I
won’t be fasting, but I’m going to try and be welcoming and nice to people I
don’t particularly care for. It is
strange because when I first see someone coming in the door I immediately know
they are strange to me and I don’t always react in a good way. The Sisters scold me but I just can’t seem to
help it. The funny thing is, after the
person is here a while and I know them a bit, I just stop barking and reacting
and they become my friends! Do you ever
have that experience? I think Sr. K
calls it “judging” and says she has trouble with that too. We both are going to try during Lent to avoid
“judging”. That is one thing that I can do for sure that will make a difference
both to me and to the people I meet.
Have you ever heard of “new
evangelization”? There is a lot of talk
among the Sisters about that right now.
If you haven’t read any of Pope Francis’ talks they told me they are
very good. Also, the Sisters are
celebrating what they call “The year of consecrated life”. That means that they are trying to tell
people who they are, what they do and how they try to help people (and dogs
too! I think Sr. K even tries to help
cats!) I find them to be kind of mean,
hissing things but I suppose they are fine too because God made us all!
Until next time I hope
everyone keeps well and stays happy.
Love, Abby
