Fears and Tears

The Lord has shown me that when I open my arms to His will, beautiful things happen. He draws me in closer to His love. He shows me that love is all around and given in abundance.

I was touched many times this past week with an outpouring of gifts for my birthday. The gift of a kind word, the gift of a kind deed, the gift of a kind moment; many things that I will treasure in my heart.

My arms open to receive the blessings poured out and I am truly grateful to all my dear family and friends. It is a place where I can freely receive and offer everything up to the Lord with much joy and thanksgiving.

Jesus does not demand great actions from us but simply surrender and gratitude. St. Therese of Lisieux
