St. Joseph – Pray For Me!
March 19, 2018
Yes indeed – today is St. Joseph’s Feast Day and guess what? In the heat of the battles of the day, I forgot. I didn’t remember until, tired, I turned the tv on and there it was – Holy Mass for the Feast of St. Joseph. Oh boy….
Let me start at the top. I was having breakfast at the computer and the resident big fly kept dive bombing me. I tried to get it, but couldn’t, so I closed up shop and left. Then, when I took my shower in the kids’ bathroom (the water heater for the master has been dead for a long time), what did I spy? An overflowing trash can! Yep, tissues were dropped around the can by someone who didn’t care whether or not the tissues went in the can. One of my kids had a dental appointment with a completely new hygienist. The one that we started with 6 years ago had left the practice. That didn’t go well either. Then, it was a long line in Starbucks and off to the store to get food. Got the food home and guess what? The soup cans were rusty! So, we ended up with only turkey sandwiches and fruit for lunch. All of that left me angry the rest of the day and I couldn’t shake it. Until after supper when I turned the tv on and remembered it was St. Joseph’s Day. UGH! So, I watched and prayed and relaxed.
I’m sorry St. Joseph for forgetting your special day. I even forgot to wish my son, who bears your name, a happy feast day. Sorry for being angry at everyone and everything today. Sorry that I seem to be making no progress towards love of God and neighbor. I’m trying, but some days…some days. Pray for me and my family – we could really use some help. Thanks. Amen.
