First off , thankyou for your prayers for our friend Helen. She is home recouperating from her eye surgery and is face down during this long process. She will know in two weeks if in fact she has vision in that eye. Janet spoke to her yesterday and she was up beat and beautiful as always.   You know why ?  Nothing is that big a deal when you realize that Gods got it. Its pretty simple.

On a beautiful note her husband and our dear friend Deacon Paul was invited to serve at the papal mass in NY this month. What a blessing. 🙂 I will ask him to take all of our prayers and needS to the cross of the alter that day. AMEN.

This morning I woke up and got going. I put the diswasher on and went about my routine. I began my morning prayer and heard a noise that brought me to the opposite end of the house. as I looked out at the painters who arrived next door I heard water and thought what is that ? Well, I needed one of these!  OMG

okay, okay I didn’t need a canoe but thats  what I told the repair man and I got a loud chuckle  out of him. lol  I also said that I had a water current in my kitchen.

My diswasher malfunctioned and my kitchen floor had water all over it. Thank God my wife did a couple of  loads of towels that were fluffy and folded and ready to be put away. My daughters were on their way to work and jumped into action swabbing the deck and drying the floor. we will wait to see what damage may be done to the harwood from water underneath. I called the insurance company. all of my appliances are under a service contract so no worries about any damage. The repair man for the appliance is scheduled to come out also.

I made myself another cup of coffee and called my wife just to let her know everything was okay in case she got a cryptic message from my kids like… FLOOD or Dads recliner is totaled.   lol

She said how can you laugh? I said honey what can you do? My kids were present as I spoke to the appliance place and their insurance company. I said to them its life so we need to just fix things thats all. We don’t know what can come our ways daily. but its only stuff. its not that important.

Finally, A very good childhood friend that I will call the Florida connection responded to my blog last week. I feature many many artists and their music on my blog and Facebook daily.  Many of which are Christian and some are not. Music is healing in my belief system. It is throught the bible and human history.  When I blog it is after prayer and I am very much directed by the Holy Spirit to things many times that I have not seen or heard before.

My friend is involved with his parish and is a Eucharistic minister. Bill commented on how much he likes Michael W. Smith and his music after he read the blog and heard the song.

Bill sent another email to me to listen to a song that he loved by Michael W. Smith. Its called all is well.

I listened to it today after the flood and after morning prayer and it is beautiful.

It is a Christmas song, but I truely mean this it is a song for everyday life. Christmas is everyday to me because every morning that that I wake  is a blessing from God and it serves  as a reminder that Jesus has been born in order that we be allowed life with hope of eternity.

So yes, we are heading towards the historical date of Dec 25th ( Christs birth to save humanity.) I love the Advent Season and the Christmas trappings as much as the next guy.  But the real importance is not lost on me.

I have stared down death with a terminal illness and do not know what tomorrow will bring personally. I do however know that my tomorrows are full of hope, and love of my God, family and my friends so how awesome is that ! 🙂

 We could also be living Christmas of the heart daily. If we choose to.

So,

In closing, lets enjoy the day regardless of what comes our way. Gods got it.   

God Bless You All. 🙂

Danny
