Sabbath Moments
October 30, 2010
Sabbath Moments are those times when we rested in the Lord during the week as we go about our daily routine. Colleen at Thoughts on Grace hosts this meme, so visit her to read about others’ Sabbath Moments.
Early this week I slipped on some water on the kitchen floor – sloppy drinking by the dogs – and wrenched my hips. Not good because of the joint replacements and muscle weakness due to fibromyalgia. I spent a lot of time under the influence of painkillers as I rested next to Francie, who is recovering from her knee surgery. All I could do was thank God for the chance to offer up the inconvenience so that pro-life voters will remain strong and get out to the polls.
In fact, I spent time praying to St. Michael the Archangel to get all pro-life voters’ guardian angels to get their charges off to the polls next week.
Last Sunday I bought a rosary I’ve been coveting in the parish book store for almost a year. It’s a “child proof” rosary, the wires wrapped several times extra at each bead so little hands can’t pull it apart. However, this old kid wanted the rosary because the bead size is large and works easily through my fingers and the colors are so “happy.” This rosary is like the Church, which has people of all colors, bound securely together in the love of Christ. When I pray on it I pray for all of God’s children, even the ones not yet part of the Mystical Body, that they will come to know Him and submit to Him.
R. Now and forever. Amen.

What a pretty rosary. I love the happy colors too.
What a pretty rosary! Are those happy colors of a certain significance or are they just meant to make the heart smile?
I hope that you (and your dog) have full and swift recoveries.
Hi Judy, they are meant to make the heart smile. I am looking forward to praying on this rosary in the dull days of winter.
Beautiful rosary! Love how you said it was like the church. Hope you are feeling better! Hugs and blessings!
Oh, Barb! I’m very sorry to hear about your fall and I hope you are recovering well! I will keep you in my prayers.
We were blessed to have a few pro-life candidates on our roster here in N.H. this election. I voted today and hope they win!
Love those beads!
I’m doing well on the recovery from the slip-and-wrench, but my chronic fatigue and fibro pain is annoying. Maybe the merits will help us get pro-lifers elected. We voted early so we wouldn’t have to stand in line today. So glad we did. On the way to the VA eye doctor the polling place where we usually vote was really crowded.
