Saint Therese of Lisieux

Today is the celebration of the feast day of Saint Therese, known as the Little Flower. Click here for some great information on her story. I chose Saint Therese as my confirmation name and have always had a special devotion to her. Some great books are videos are: Story of a Soul, Story of a Family ( I really loved this book!!), and the movie Therese.
"Our Lord needs from us neither great deeds nor profound thoughts. Neither intelligence nor talents. He cherishes simplicity." "You know well enough that Our Lord does not look so much at the greatness of our actions, nor even at their difficulty, but at the love with which we do them."

PopPop update

This afternoon PopPop is being discharged from the hospital but cannot return to his room at the assisted living home until he is able to stay steady on his feet and walk. So for now he is going to a nursing facility on Bainbridge Island until hopefully room will open up for him at one in Bremerton. Once he is assessed by a PT hopefully we will know more about how long he might have to stay there before he can go back "home". Thanks for all your prayers.
