About a month ago I wrote a post about not being in control which gathered quite a few comments. Fr. David May, from Madonna House in Combermere, ON, writes along a similar vein in this month’s copy of Restoration. He titles it: “The Joys of Letting Go.” You can read it here. And, please, especially you mothers who worry about being the perfect mother–and even those of you who don’t, don’t miss this post by Betty Duffy. It will at the least give you a good laugh . . . and that’s always a good thing.

Witnesses to Hope 
I still keep going back to the idea in the article that described the red snow poles. For me, it has been daily Mass, liturgy of the hours and taking the time with the Lord in the morning, even when it felt like He wasn’t there (though, of course I know He really was. Then this morning in Magnificat, it talked about Mass and how the importance isn’t with the feelings at the time, but as preparation for eternity — a time of expansion of the heart, interiorly, even if you can’t feel it. Very encouraging.
Remind me about the red snow poles . . .
In the article about control. It talked about tall red poles that stick up high so that you can still find the road in a deep winter storm.
Which article? (I must really be out of control because I don’t remember that part. 🙂
I think the problem is on this end:-) I must have read it somewhere else. I’ll let you know if I come across it again. I’ve been thinking that I read it in relation to that post, but it must have been somewhere else. I do like the image, though. SOmetimes the road is jst impossible to see, but those guideposts are still there, leading the way.
Well, it’s a great image no matter where it came from!
