Happy New Years - 2009

So, last night we had a New Years Party - believe it or not - I was awake until 1:45... I am NEVER awake that late but what a night we had! We had lots of food, games, fun and even ended with karaoke and I can't wait to show you what we recorded but I am in the process of trying to find out how to upload my videos from my new video camera onto the computer.. I got them on Dave's window based one, but can't figure it out on my Mac so, I may have to post the video from his computer - so ... 

wait for it. You will NOT believe it (or maybe you will if you know me and our family..) but in the meantime, 

The following prayer of St. Francis contains a powerful message... 

"Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. 

Where there is hatred, let me sow love;

Where there is injury, pardon;

Where there is doubt, faith;

Where there is despair, hope;

Where there is darkness, light;

Where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;

To be understood as to understand;

To be loved as to love. 

For it is in giving that we receive; 

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;

It is in dying that we are born to eternal life."

May 2009 bring with it peace and joy. May it be blessed.
