Here is the deck of cards and card she sent me. I added the bird I bought in Frankfurt
when her and I went shopping together a year ago.

For the last few
months, I have been thinking about holiness.
Yes, I think holiness is a relationship with God that continues to grow
when we nourish the connection. I also
believe that holiness is listening to His voice that comes to us in many forms,
one of which is when we are compelled to do something for others on a
whim. I have a cousin that does this all
the time.
Years ago, she
sent me a metal of Saint Daniel of Padua who is a saint of wives' whose
husbands are at war. I wore the metal
everyday while Jerry was deployed. The
cool thing is my cousin isn't Catholic.
She listened to the voice and researched. She also sent me help all the way from across
the country while my husband was gone. I
received a freezer, fifteen meals, and this awesome guy that finished up some
things on my garage. The awesome guy was
her dad, my uncle.
I received a
surprise in the mail. When her and her
family were traveling through a section of Europe, her husband is stationed in
Germany, they stopped in Mont St Michel France.
I loved the pictures she posted.
I drooled and put this spot on my bucket list for someday. My son's name is Michel. I felt a little sadness because his and my
relationship isn't well at the moment. But, what a cool spot to visit! I would love to go there and pray for
us. Don't worry I still pray. Well, while she was there, she thought of
me. She saw a deck of playing cards with
saints on them.
Sure, most
people wouldn't see this as holiness. I
disagree. I believe it was a Holy Moment
between two cousins. One of the other
thoughts I have about holiness is that we need to watch for holiness, to see
God working in our lives in all things.
So, yes, I see God's work in my cousin and a deck of card.
Thank you
Holly!!! You brought me a holy moment,
and I will treasure this gift and all your gifts. You are such a blessing.
