God, nature, and looking for the answers to the pieces of the puzzle within our very own lives.  Have we unturned every rock?  Have we lived a life worthy of living?  You and I and God and nature.  We live, we learn, we love.  We look at everything that was ever so graciously given to us personally and individually by God himself.  Over all,  God did  grant a surplus to those who love Him.

If we are fortunate to have great health, a loving family, and a strong faith, pretty much you have all the best ingredients to live out a wonderful happy life.  I knew early on how blessed of a life I was given.  The love of my every ancestor shielded me and clothed me with the joy of their presence, their personality, their support, their love, nothing was missing in my life, and that always made me the happiest young lady growing up.  Yes I was indeed surrounded by my many great ancestors and they were anchoring me with very deep roots, leaving me entrenched in the rich legacy of their existence while God gave them life.  

Life is the richest when we have the support of a loving family.  My Polish and Italian Ancestors were great at love, great at giving, great at supporting family, friends, and those God had placed in our path to save.  Yes save.  We are all given a very special task in life and it is up to us to recognize our role in God's Spiritual Army. 

To grow in God we have to submit to God.  To grow in his grace, we have to be graceful.  To grow in kindness, we must be kind.  To love like God, is to love God with every fiber in our being.  God is alive in you and in me.  His grace over flow eth when  we step aside and allow Him to do His great work within us.  

Today before mass I stood before the outside crucifix of Jesus with his Mother Mary standing to the left of the Cross.  I stood there in silence.  And the cross spoke to my heart.  The life size statue of Mary resembled my mother Halina.  It is no coincidence God is placing my Mother heavily on my heart on a daily basis.  God does speak to us, and it is important that we are listening because he has a great message for us that he is trying to convey every single day.  

So as I am holding my mother ever so close daily in prayer, our holy Father and Holy Mother in heaven uphold us along with our deepest thoughts, our deepest prayers, and I have to believe Jesus and Mary are both holding you and I as we make our way through this earth towards eternity forever.
