Prepare the stable of your heart for Christmas

Yesterday my daughters and husband and I went 

into Chicago with the youth group from our parish 

to work in the soup kitchen of the 

Sisters of Charity.

These are Mother Teresa's nuns, 

and the kitchen was opened

by Mother Teresa herself.

(That's my hubby up there on the right.)

I can't tell you what this experience has done for me, 

to take me away from the cares and silly concerns of my everyday life,

and help those who are truly in need.

(Thats one of my daughters cheesing on the left.)

It really put things into perspective and I had the anticipation

of the coming of my Lord Jesus on my mind all day.

I felt so close to Him while I was there, 

and so thankful for everything He has done in my life 

and the wonderful people He has given me to love!

I hope you all have a blessed Christmas! 

I hope you feel the joy of Him in your heart always!

God Bless You

and 

Merry Christmas!
