June 30th, 1955
Dear Diary,
Today was supposed to be our return to the cave, but plans changed because I kind of forgot about the church picnic, which took most of the afternoon. And what a wonderful picnic it was! All our friends and neighbors were there, making it such a joyous gathering. It was especially nice to see Zeke and his wife Judy. Zeke's farm, full of threshing machines and old iron piles, always fascinates me. His business of selling iron keeps him busy, and it's incredible how much he knows about every piece he has.
After a delightful potluck dinner, we all gathered to listen to Bishop Robert Barron's homily. It touched me deeply because it was about a young girl my age who was very sick and passed away, but Jesus brought her back to life. Hearing that story made me reflect on the power of faith and the miracles that can happen when we trust in Him. It reminded me that no matter how tough things get, Jesus is always with us, ready to bring light into our darkest moments.
By the time Sister Mary Clare and I got home from the picnic and finished our chores, it was already time to say our prayers in the Inner Court Wagon. We wrote a special prayer tonight, reflecting on the day and all the blessings we've received.
Dear Lord,
We thank You for the wonderful day we had today, for the joyous moments shared with our friends and neighbors at the picnic, and for the inspiring words from Bishop Robert Barron. We are grateful for the reminder of Your miracles and the faith that sustains us through all trials.
Lord, we pray for the strength to trust in Your plans, even when they seem uncertain. Just as You brought the young girl back to life, bring light and hope into our lives. Guide us in our daily chores and help us to find joy in the simple tasks we perform.
Keep our loved ones safe and bless Zeke, Judy, and all our friends. Thank You for the beauty of this day and the lessons learned. As we rest tonight, fill our hearts with peace and our minds with Your wisdom.
In Your holy name, we pray.
Amen.
Goodnight, dear Diary. Today was a reminder of the beauty in faith, friendship, and the simple joys of life.
With love, Kathy
