Photographer Kathy Hussey

Cardinal is a representative of a loved one who has

 passed. When you see one, it means they are visiting 

you. They usually show up when you most need them 

or miss them. They also make an appearance during 

times of celebration as well as despair to let you know 

they will always be with you. Look for them, they'll 

appear. Author Kim

Babushka Day Christmas Preparations A Mothers Heart

Dec 21 is a busy day has we prepare for Christmas to come.

 

I claim today to be "Babushka Day"!
So get your kerchiefs and put your hair back!
Most of us will be preparing for the up coming Christmas day by cleaning, baking and guiding family members with "good advice"

Usually a "Babushka" is an elderly women but all women can be Babushka's! Usually they are married but single women can practice being a "Babushka".
Here are a few rules that "Babushka's" follow:
#1 perfect at cooking
#2 enjoy taking care of their grandchildren or children
#3 “she knows best.” It is no good trying to argue with her
#4 perfect at cleaning
#5 good at giving a piece of advice whether you’ve asked for it or not.
#6 remind you of the rules if you fail to toe the line yourself
#7 stuff their relatives in general with food and grandchildren in particular to the bursting point.
Get your "Babushka" and have a wonderful day!

In the mean time stop by my shop for Catholic Devotions like a good Babushka.

SUNBEAM

Into my home
falls a sunbeam
and with it, God's Love.
And the fields of grain are brightened
and the flowers are as beautiful as the sun.
How much joy from the one Love
O My God.
She never loses a person
but only gives help
in school and in work
in misery and in hunger
only share a prayer with her.
The Heart of the Lord is open
for everyone,
but you yourself choose
your own way.

Maria Szlachetka

LOVING AND GOOD MOTHER Mother Czestochowa, Lourdes, Fatima regardless of how I will call you always the same in motherhood. Loving and Good Mother You give butterflies above the meadow birds in the high clouds dew drops on the rose petals happiness during the day and quiet nights. For you the nightingale in the lilac shrub sings psalms fish dance in the stream the echo in the cliff carries your name far away when the waterfall calls for prayer. But I, simple singer in the chorus, For your glory - together with all the world Carry a poem for You - like a bouquet of herbs from the August meadow. Jerzy Tawlowicz

 My mother's black rosary--

her life's code

precious
polished prayer beads

each one separately
knocks for the Light of Mystery

during the lonely night
it is the alphabet of her soul

she whispered to him herself
without the remainder

She lifted her hands
by the crown of hope

my mother's black rosary
my testament

Holy Mary, Mother Of Sorrows

Holy Mary, Mother Of Sorrows,
Teach us to understand the meaning of the cross
in our lives,
so that we can add to our bodies
what is lacking in the suffering of the Christ
for the good of his mystical body,
which is the Church.
And when we finish our temporal piligrimage,
help so that we are able to live with You eternally
in the heavenly kingdom
Amen
