June 14, 1955


Dear Diary,

Today, Father LeRoy talked about how everything in creation is like a picture in God’s mind. He said that unlike our fleeting thoughts, God’s knowledge is eternal and unchanging. He knows everything from the beginning and forever. This made me realize that everything has always existed in God's view, and someday, when we see Him, we will understand it all just by looking at Him.

This idea really came to life during our visit to the neighbor's dairy barn to pick up fresh raw milk, which Sister Mary Claire insists is healthier for me. As we walked among the cows, each with its own unique traits, I saw them as part of the grand design that God always sees and loves. The peaceful cows and the quiet barn seemed to reflect back a part of God’s eternal knowledge, connecting me deeply to His creation.

Feeling a part of this divine reflection, known and loved forever by God, was incredibly comforting and uplifting.

Dear Lord, as this day closes, Sister Mary Claire and I thank You for the lessons from Father LeRoy and the beauty of Your creation we experienced today. Please help us to always appreciate the world around us as a gift from You. Guide us to live in a way that shows our love for Your creation, and help us to see Your work in everything around us. May our actions always bring out the goodness in life, and help us to see You in everything we do.

Reflecting on today, I am grateful for the spiritual and physical nourishment we received, and for the constant reminder of God’s loving gaze upon us.

With Love and devotion, Kathy
