Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
Catholicism | Faith Reflection | Scripture
Growing up in South Florida, I longed to experience the natural shifts that came with the four seasons: colorful falls, snowy winters, blooming springs, breezy summers. When I moved to the upper Midwest, I finally got my wish, but in quite an unbalanced way. Winters here are so long, and spring is rushed too quickly into hot summers. And when spring does show up, it is often followed by an April snow. Because of this, I have never liked spring. However, my appreciation for spring has grown over the last few years. Even though spring is very short in Minnesota, when the sun warms the earth, the trees turn the most vibrant green, and bulbs display their flowering blossoms, it is a living miracle, a smile from God that promises new life, spiritual growth, and renewal of mind and heart.
