God Moments
Today we (Ellen and I) helped teach a baptism preparation class at church. We're part of a team that takes a Saturday morning every other month with parents getting ready to baptize their child. As part of today's discussion, we asked them to share "God moments", times in our life where we've seen God working. It was one of the most moving sessions we've had. We had several people/couples that went though some very tough stuff, both personally and with respect to their children. And to see how their faith was actually strengthened in the face of this adversity was so moving and inspiring!
Then, at Mass this evening, we were talking to a couple celebrating their 43rd anniversary. We'd mentioned how we were kidless this weekend since the boys are camping with their scout troop. The wife mentioned to us how our children really aren't ours, but they're on loan to us. We raise them, teach them right from wrong and how to deal in the world, and then we let them go.
So many profound spriritual moments today! It was certainly a God filled day.

So many of us find our faith stronger through adversity. And it makes sense when you consider there are times when ONLY a strong faith gets us through.
Sounds like a very good day for you!
