Oh So Sad


I'm oh so sad!
The above picture shows an intact shelf with my beautiful tea cups and saucers displayed on it. Not to mention the pictures and other trinkets.
Today after going on an enjoyable walk, with a good friend, on a brisk fall day, we came home to discover this beautiful display scattered all over my kitchen floor. Broken cups and saucers everywhere. My question, is this the work of one of my mischievous kitties, or was it that the hinges on the shelf or the nails in the wall, were just not sturdy enough? Although, the shelf held up for an entire month before crashing to the floor. Fortunately all of my pictures and trinkets made it through the fall in on piece, as well as one tea cup and matching saucer. Two saucers made it OK, but their counterparts did not.
It was the pride and joy of my kitchen. Maybe a little too much pride. I do realize there are more important things in life, but I will be sad for a little while. Oh well, life goes on...

Prayers Please

Please pray for a dear man, Wally Wallis, who passed away suddenly yesterday afternoon. Wally was a beloved man by all who knew him. He was a parishioner at our church, Holy Family. He was a retired teamster who volunteered much of his free time at Holy Family. Wally and his wife Shirley were co-adorers with Erin and myself from 10-11am on Thurs. mornings for adoration. We have been co-adorers for over a year, and in that time we have gotten to know both Wally and Shirley. I also got to know more about him from attending RCIA classes with my dad last year. Quite a coincidence, Wally and my dad go way back to when they attended high school together.

I am heartbroken by this sudden news. I pray that Wally was prepared for an eternity with God. Let this be a reminder to all that we must never live in mortal sin and we must always be prepared for our judgement day. Please pray for Wally and his mourning wife Shirley. Thank you! Love and prayers to you all.
