Walkin’in a winter wonderland!
Seriously, the snow can quit any time now: two major snow storms
in about 8 days, and as of this writing we may be getting a
third. This should be enough snow to make the skiers among
us happy. I hope this holds them till spring!
Well, the weather last weekend forced us to cancel the Lessons & Carols
Christmas Concert last Sunday. It was a great disappointment.
We were all looking forward to all of the music and readings
with so many people involved. All of the music that was to
be done last weekend will still be done at the masses around
Christmas. We will just have to appreciate their talent then
even more. With the craziness of everyone’s schedules
there is no possibility of rescheduling.
Last Sunday was a very difficult day for Ken Danchik. The uncertainty
of the weather and the struggle of if and when to cancel the
concert were difficult to make. But add to that the rest of
the story, Ken’s car could not make it up Glass Run for
the 9AM mass because of the road conditions so he parked it
at the Shop ‘n Save, walked through St. Josaphat Cemetery
and up Schieck St. where he finally got a lift. And the story
continues. After the stress of the entire morning, he gets
in his van, pulls out of the parking lot and gets a flat tire
- what a hat trick! A lot of kind people and parishioners did
stop to offer assistance. He did finally make it home to the
warmth of his family. What’s the saying about “Neither
rain nor snow nor …?”
These next few weeks will be extremely hectic for all of us.
Let us not forget to MAKE TIME to pray because nothing during
this season happens without effort. Perhaps while we are wrapping
or cooking or shopping we could pray for those who will be
receiving those particular gifts. As we move into the final
days of Advent, eager for the celebration of Christmas we are... |
