Preparing the way!

Anthony is preparing for his 1st Communion next month. He is so excited and has been really anxious for that day to arrive. I'm very proud of him for the work he's done to get prepared. I hope it as special a day as he hopes it will be.

Being across the country from all our family and close friends makes big events like this a little bitter sweet. Family is so important, and often you don't realize that until they are gone, or far far away. I wish I could invited everyone over for a huge meal and music and a good time, but distance and time (and money) prevent that from happening. Often times I can only pray that God will provide for us what we need in those moments that we would naturally want to share with community.
