Times Are Changing

he roommates and I have been busy packing up the house, throwing bridal showers, engagement parties, and last minute get-togethers before we endeavor upon 3 new adventures. We sat on the couch on Sunday morning for the first time in months, together and alone, for the last time.

The moments are bitter-sweet. It has been almost 3 years, and we have gone through significant changes in that time. Each of us has grown and really come into our own. And, as Fr. H. loves to say, when one is finally comfortable where he is, God normally calls him on. It's exciting and scary at the same time. We have the peace of knowing that wherever we are, we will be praying for each other.

A guest paid us the highest compliment the other day. She said that our home was truly joy-filled -- a Christ-like place, full of charity, warmth and welcome. She even went so far as to say that she aspires to be the same way. I was genuinely touched and pray that that is always truly the case!
