Keep em rollin...you are humbling me.
Truly I see a sweet connection going on here with the sister. The fruits that come from some of the different things that occur in life can be so sweet.
Yesterday, in Father Don's homily, somehow he mentioned thinking of ourselves as fruit on a tree. What kind are we...are we "green," are we "coming close to ripe," are we "ripe," or are we "over ripe?"
It was rather thought provoking, I thought. I know I am "over ripe" when I feel sorry for myself...like an old black banana, however, I don't like being green either. What does this have to do with you and all this...hmm, well, just that some things coming from this are that relationships can ripen and sometimes without these things, they just sorta stay barely ripe. Thanks for your sharings! God bless you and big big hugs to you AND your sister, AND your momma. Suzanne
