Haiku My Heart: Courage


heavy are our hearts
with the sacrifice of men
who showed such courage!


The holiday
we just celebrated
was tinged
with a plaintive  air
considering the loss of
those elite firefighters
who gave their all
in battling the awful fires
in Arizona.

May Mary, the mother
of us all and Her Son
bring solace to
the families.

of the heroic firefighters,

USA's Independence Day: July 4, 2013

when religion is vibrant 
and the rule of law under God 
is acknowledged.”

Mornings with Mary

Mary, queen of hearts,
the model of faithfulness
to her Divine Son.

She understands those
who deal with uncertainty
and aids them with hope.

may you be blessed to seek Rebecca's
Morning with Mary
Even with Mary, I like playing with PicMonkey's editing tools.
As you can see, I have switched old crumbling pots to new tubs
to hold flowers for Mary. My daughter also bought some new
kinds of flowers for my Mother's Day yearly gift.

Mornings with Mary: Project Gabriel


Gabriel Project
saves babies' lives, mothers' souls
a mission for God.


For my journal pages,
I used the following materials:
top half of a reminder to hand 
in Gabriel Project cans filled with money 
for the Project's needs to help new mothers;
(we handed out cans to the parish on Mother's Day
and had them brought back on Father's Day-
fitting days, don't you think?)

scrapbooking stickers;
photo of youngest son when he was a toddler;
remnants of a graduation announcement envelope;
bear from a thank you card;
water color wash

merrily I make my way
to Mornings with Mary
