A day of blessings

    This evening at liturgy we recognized the beauty and joy of the sixtieth wedding anniversary of Charles and Joan Yuhas.   Joan is a regular reader of Journey Thoughts and very supportive of this endeavor.   As I mentioned at Mass, Joan is involved in many things in the parish, including being one of our alternate organists.  Her husband is the quiet strength at her side. With their children and grandchildren, they are a wonderful family.

     Following Mass our men's group, a newer organization within the parish, hosted a grilled hot dog cook out.  Gathering in the grassy area in front of the church, they had tables and chairs set up, a grill for the hot dogs, and chips and a drink for anyone that wanted to stop by after Mass.   Fortunately the weather cooperated, and many enjoyed the experience.   The men have hosted coffee and donuts in the same location on two previous occasions on a Sunday morning.  Great job.

     Speaking of the Seton men's group, about seven of them had earlier in the day done some cleaning up of weeds and shrubs along the driveway to our offices.  They worked hard, bonded a little more, and did a great service for the parish.

     A blessing that the Lord so often bestows on us is the gift of good friends and generous people.  I experienced those blessings today.   God is good.
