It's here. My favorite month. There is something about October that I love and it has nothing to do with my birthday. Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. I'll be 69 later this month and I don't feel a day over 90. Just joking...
When I was a kid one of my favorite things to do in October was to visit the State Fair of Texas. It's been ages since I did that. I entered a sweater I knitted out of my hand-spun yarn back in the mid 1990's and won a blue ribbon, but haven't entered anything else since. Maybe I should plan on something for next year. I'll think about it. Perhaps something original out of hand-spun yarn.
Today is the Feast Day of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, a Discalced Carmelite nun born in France in 1873, died in 1897, known as The Little Flower. On October 15th we will celebrate another Discalced Carmelite, Saint Teresa of Avila who founded the order. I've read and studied these saints for many years, being drawn to contemplative prayer. Along with St. Edith Stein and St. John of the Cross they are the saints who resonate with me the most.
I pray your Sunday will be a blessed one, spent with family and friends.
