So….I just turned 46.<\/p>\n

No big party, no deep life crisis (at least not today 😅), but I wanted to take a moment to share something that’s been on my heart lately.<\/p>\n

Over the past three years, I’ve managed to do something I never really did before, and it’s not a job promotion, not anything flashy or social media-worthy. It’s this: I’ve been going to Mass every Sunday. Like, regularly. Consistently. Rain or shine, busy or tired.<\/p>\n

What’s funny is I’m actually busier now than I was before. Life is packed. But somehow, making time for Mass has become something I truly value. It’s become a part of our family routine, but also a part of me.<\/p>\n

And the way I pray has changed too. I don’t really ask for much anymore. These days, my prayers are just…Thank you.<\/p>\n

Thank You, Lord, for today.<\/p>\n

Thank You for all that You’ve given.<\/p>\n

Thank You for what You’ve taken away too, because I trust You know better.<\/p>\n

And now that I’m 46, I’ll keep that same prayer:<\/p>\n

Thank You for another day.<\/p>\n

Thank You for another year.<\/p>\n

Nothing fancy. Just grateful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
